I'm genuinely puzzled as to why anyone wouldn't 3-bet here?

I'm definately with Harv here. We seem to really be de-valuing our hand at the moment.

I actually think three betting does offer a bit of protection because the intial callers that called the first flop bet may fold before calling two others.

Now I'm sure we could argue whether they would be correct or incorrect to do so - the fact of the matter is that they do at times.

Current sets seem unlikely since they probably would have put in another round of bets PF. If SB flopped a nutter for the time being - he's passing up a good opportuinity for a larger CR on a later street - so I'd discount a flopped straight as well.

Our worry is the Flush draw - but if they (the players after me) want to put in two more - so be it. I've still got a 6 outs to a monster, and without even doing the sims, intuitively I know I've got a large enough hand equity to push here.
