I like history and I recently noticed that across different pre-modern cultures there’s almost always seem to be at the most basic level always the 3 classes: an elite class, a warrior class and a clergy class. Why is that? Why not food-producers or something?

You forgot farmers and artisans (including skilled trades). Farmers being the most populous, and therfore the most boring, so they don’t really “make” history, and are therefore largely left out. Skilled artisans are slightly better represented because they make the tools and such for the other 4 classes. An awesome sword would merit mention of the artisan in a warrior’s tale, for example. But, those 3 that you did mention largely show up because they were the most impactful, for good or ill.
