Hello,
Why is there an official arch pkg for msmtp but not for mpop?

Because something like fetchmail does the same thing as mpop?

It seems there are plenty reasons to prefer mpop over fetchmail: http://mpop.sourceforge.net/comparison.html

To answer your initial question: the way it usually works is that a package is in the repos if a developer wants to maintain it. Otherwise, it might be in community if a TU wants to maintain it, or in AUR if someone else wants to.
If you want to see mpop in the repo's I suggest putting it in AUR or voting for it if is already there.
Cheers,
Tom
