Not everyone has these three ingredients. Soffritto and mirepoix and great flavors but almost every cuisine has such a trinity, and it varies.
Cajun/Creole: Onion, Bell Pepper, Celery
Italian/Spanish: Onion, Garlic, Tomato
German (Suppengrün): Carrot, Celery Root, Leek
Thai: Garlic, Chilies, Shallots
Chinese "Holy Trinity of Sichuan": Garlic, Ginger, Scallions
Indian Tadka: Mustard Seeds, Cumin, Chilies
Japanese Yasai Itame Base: Onion, Carrot, Cabbage
Having three ingredients balance each other makes for a good cuisine base.
