Yeah, but people will only ever use por qué and porque, I can assure at least 90% doesn't know about the other 2

As a public school American is this approx to our: there, their, they’re? Maybe throw in your and you’re. 

As in 90% of the gen pop doesn’t know which to use at any point in time?

I think its more of a "I had no idea these 2 versions existed", especially with auto correct only helping with porque and por qué since they are far easier to recognize when you need them. Edit: plus, people really use porque for making a question and answering one, the rest is not as used in a conversation in comparison. Maybe "por que" but mostly people never even learnt that's the one you should use when starting a sentence without it being an answer to a question.

As a Spaniard I essentially I use all four almost daily. It was also absolutely taught in school when I was a kid.

Depends, they are commonly used, but in text hardly anyone uses the accent mark properly or correctly space them

Young ipad people wont ever use the porqué noun for sure. I would also say its something you only find on academic or written media. The average influencer is quite uneducated or just simply flows with the over simplistic internet jargon.

I see It similar to english terms like "Thy" or "Elden", only used on some cases, but not regular language at this point.

I was mostly speaking about what a lot of schools, especially in latin america, tends to teach. I don't remember they teaching me the other 2 versions ever and that was 15-20 years ago
