Because 3-phase is the way electric power is generated, transmitted and distributed. The 3-phase format is broken down into single-phase supplies only at the consumer level, so that you might be on red phase while your neighbour on one side is on yellow and the neighbour on the other side is on blue.

3-phase is used all over the world for all significant amounts of electric power because it can be distributed using less cable and therefore less power-loss. Three single-phase supplies need 6 wires, while a 3-phase supply takes advantage of the phasing to use only 3 wires for the same power. Each pair of live wires acts as the return wire for the other wire in a symmetrical and balanced system.
