These are more or less the three easiest open guitar chords for a beginner to learn, all major, so not very unusual IMO.

The roots fall on a pentatonic scale which works well with basic rock music (see the referenced TNT song by AC/DC).

Idk. C, am, F and G are as easy, if not easier, and you can play with them a nice I-IV-vi-V instead of this modal interchange shit.

Maybe swap F for Em. Beginners aren't (successfully) playing F, no matter which variation.
