The one limitation, which I suppose is related to the size of the logic board, is just having three RAM slots. Why did the G3s come so under-equipped? Was it purely to keep the board small, or was there an actual technical reason?

The RAM controller used in beige G3s could drive 3 slots by itself. It needed driver chips to handle more slots, and the driver adds a wait state to each memory cycle. Three slots is most common in G3 and G4 series.
