It means that the Trait NoMoreAncillaries has to be < 1 (ie. has not been acquired by this character). This trait is acquired depending on the ammount of ancillaries already acquired (Trait NumAncillariesAcquired) and the Charisma of the character (Trait NaturalCharisma).

The reason why you never see most of the ancillaries in game is that there are some ancillaries that every character can acquire without any problems until they have amassed enough to have the trait NoMoreAncillaries firing.

the chance there with 3% seems of course not much, but a docter also have 5% chance - and they are widespread
3% is extremly high because this is working cumulative. Means it piles up each turn it fires. Say a character would be eligable for this trait/anc he would get an additional 3% each turn he does so (6% the 2nd, 9% the 3rd turn and so on). So after about 34 turns the character should have the trait by guarantee. This would be eight or nine years for the character. This means, a trait with a 3% chance but no other requirements would be held by each character older than 25 years.
