Is there some “perfect” arrangement for the kitchen triangle that everyone talks about? As far as I can tell any three points will make a triangle regardless of where you put them. So why do people talk about putting the appliances in a specific location to make that kitchen triangle?

The “ideal” kitchen triangle is an ergonomic setup where the stove, sink, and refrigerator are all easy to access when you are cooking so you don’t need to keep walking too far back and forth across the kitchen.
According to some sources, this means 4-9 feet so you have space to work but not too far to walk, see https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/kitchen-triangle
Some other sources do consider the triangle as a dated concept as the way people cook has changed (more single purpose appliances, for one thing) and are promoting the idea of “work zones” — see for example https://www.bloomsburykitchens.com/blog/is-the-triangle-kitchen-outdated
