What would those obvious reasons be, I wonder? Standard HTML protocol is port 80 - everyone knows that, even browsers. So, if you just type www.apache.org, it will try a connection to port 80, and most browsers will actually use http://www.apache.org:80/index.html.
By default, and by definition!

Similar for secured http (https) - it's port 443. And all other services (ftp, gopher, SSH, etc., etc)

Also, by definition, if you do not wish to use the default, you must specify the actual port used. 7777 in your case.
