Small brain: fantasy books come in trilogies.
Big brain: LOTR was only broken into three volumes for publishing reasons and the trilogy is arbitrary.
Galaxy brain: the publisher simply brought out the existing three-act structure of LOTR that is inherent to most fiction and so a trilogy is a natural and valid format.
