Becuase they each need the OS to run and you aren't supposed to use the same key for multiple computers.

Becasue you have 3 individual computers. The licensing on any software (including Operating Systems) is based on a per computer basis. You can, like any other software to volume licensing, but it usually isn't cost effective until you reach above 50 PC licenses with Windows.

Once you buy a license to use software it is only good for one computer. Their software is indivually licensed. Unless, you buy a volume license which would allow you to use the software on more than one computer.

You could always use a free OS on your computers such as Linux or BSD
Then you don't have to buy anything.
