How is it logically possible for a single letter to have 3 syllables? Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to pronounce the letter ‘W’ using just one syllable as ‘wee’ similar to how letters 2 thru 5 are pronounced ‘bee’, ‘cee’, ‘dee’ and ‘eee’?

The name comes from the fact it’s literally two U’s together (W being a separate letter is a late addition to the language), hence double U.
If it was pronounced with a single descriptive sound, it wouldn’t be wee. It’d be something closer to wuh.
