It's basically by convention now. Port 3128 has been set as default port 
by Squid for more than 2 decades. Don't expect a change.

Secondly, like it was said already, servers and proxies are different 
things. And you need to understand the difference between forward and 
reverse proxies. Reverse proxies can sit on the regular ports because 
that's their job -- to ask as origins. Forward proxies don't sit on 
regular server ports because they require explicit config on the client. 
And don't forget we used to have transparent proxies which kind of died 
  (I think?) thanks to TLS.

Port 3128 is for *forward* proxy setup.
