I think "better experiences" should include the value of siblings. There is always somebody to play with. You form a team against bullies. Being able to attend classes together or share dorm rooms is great. Even later in life, there will be family to share life with.

3 kids would be able to provide each other plenty of sibling value.

Most people won't have as many children as you though. Even among people for whom having a family is a priority, they probably won't have more than two or three.
