I'm sure 99% of people first heard this term in the famous Holy Grail bit. I have never seen it used in the wild. Thanks!

you are overestimating the degree to which your personal social group is typical in the world by probably about a factor of 100
I think you misunderstood. I said if someone has heard the term "anarcho-syndicalist", there is a very high chance it's from the Holy Grial. Not 99% of people in the world are familiar with the term.
you're still overestimating how much you know about the world, by a lot. in the spanish-speaking world, for example, anarcho-syndicalism is much better known than monty python (though, not among programmers, because they speak english and write python). and i'm guessing that monty python isn't that widely known among arabic speakers, russian speakers, and chinese speakers, while anarcho-syndicalism is a significant historical strain of socialism a significant number of them are acquainted with
making any statement about 99% of the people who have heard of anarcho-syndicalism represents a staggering degree of unconcern for veracity, given how hard it is to get a handle on that group
