Why not? It has two inputs and one output. So a triangle that can accomidate two intputs and one output is perfect!
Because that is the accepted convention. The triangle is the symbol for an amplifier, be it a differential amplifier with two inputs, such as an op-amp, or be it single ended, such as a simple transistor. The triangle symbol is used to show a block diagram of something that might have multiple things inside it, which the op-amp does. It is not generally used to represent a simple transistor, unless you were showing a block diagram. The triangle symbol is also used in digital logic diagrams, to indicate buffers (again, amplifiers), or inverters.
Usually output of an amplifier is a voltage ,...but in case of Operational Transconductance Amplifier ,Iout (current ) is the output. This feature, makes it useful for Electronic control of amplifier gain .
design and implementation of a buffer circuit using operational amplifier
Originally such an amplifier did mathematical functions.
The LM358 is an operational amplifier.
It has several but one of the main ones is that it has built in frequency compensation, which its predecessor the 709 operational amplifier did not.
