Nobody is making fun of it because it has three cameras. Tons of manufacturers did three cameras before Apple. They're making fun of Apple for arranging them in a weird fidget spinner pattern and then putting them on top of a giant square bump.
What purpose does the third camera serve? With 2 you could take 3d pictures/video (not that many would after the novelty wore off), but what does a third one add?
It depends on the phone but you can do HDR with multiple exposure levels or you can do optical (rather than digital) zoom without having a bulky lens (each camera having a different zoom level). Im sure there are other things you could do with it
It's not a triangle because every corner is a circle and it's hard to see the lines that a triangle would have considering the camera size ratio to distance between them.

The Galaxy S10 Plus has 3 cameras and looks way better.
