"Planets may prefer living..."

Panpsychism?

What about three suns

This is more personification

For many planets in binary or trinary systems, the two stars are so far away from each other, the people living on the planet might not even realize they're in a multi-star system. In these cases only one star would radiate meaningful amounts of light and heat.

Doesn't the 3 body problem make the orbits so unstable that there wouldn't be time for multi cell life to develop?

How about two stars in close configurations orbiting each other like binary system would and third star far away orbiting the binary system and a planet orbiting the third star on goldilock zone?

Everything does. 🤌🏼

Planet masses are so small compared to stars that they don't really count as a third body the same way I don't count as a third body between the earth and the moon (insert yo Mama joke here).
