3 is the smallest odd prime number. 3 is a HOLY number. It symbolizes divine perfection, completeness, and unity in many religions: the Holy Trinity in Christianity, the Trimurti in Hinduism, the Tao Te Ching in Taoism (and half a dozen others)


I'd rather guess that they've pick 3 as a passive-aggressive attempt to provide a false pretense of choice in "you can change it but in the end it's gonna be our way" style than thinking they're attributing some cultural significance of number 3 behind this option. But that's still interesting concept tho

This was exactly my thought as well.
