I don't know about OP, but for me, OT3 isn't about "resolving that", "feeling better about my ship being sunk", or about "the more, the merrier". Sometimes I like two characters together, because I like the dynamic between those two characters. Sometimes I like three characters together, because I like the dynamic of those three characters together. An OT3 isn't just about adding an extra set of genitalia into the mix, or about trying to "resolve" a noncanon OTP by adding a canon ship. OT3 changes the relationship in a really unique and interesting way, how the characters relate to each other, play off each other, and depend on each other.

Pretty much this.

Well, fine, YMMV and all that, but there ARE people in fandom who seem to think that a trio is a solution to ship wars or a solution to a love triangle, and that's of no comfort to people who just like A & B together, period.

What you're talking about (three characters who already have chemistry), seems to be a separate question from "Don't be sad that C has broken up A and B, just ship All The Things, silly!" which is indeed an opinion I've encountered.
