To be fair, it has been proven that when in front of a choice like that, with limited information and no other factors, people tend to choose the middle option, instead of extremes. This fact was pointed out for example in Squid Game in one of the games, when the participants had to choose the numbers from 1 to 10, not knowing what's awaiting them.
Also this is the reason why the blue team was the most popular during the Pokemon Go popularity: Articuno was in the middle (and in addition to it, it was blue, what also is considered the safest pick among red and yellow*). We can bet the card #2 will have the most votes. We are nothing but mammals, there is no exaggeration to it.
* - the blue colour is associated with calmness and safety, except for the Italy - it is speculated that the reason to it is the fact that their national football representation plays in blue shirts...
