Because weeks are fixed at seven days, three weeks is always twenty-one days and always lands on the same weekday as today. Unlike "3 months" or "one month", there is no month-length ambiguity to worry about at all.
About the "21 days to form a habit" claim
Twenty-one days is best known from the popular claim that it takes three weeks to form a habit. The figure traces back to a mid-century surgeon's observation about patients adjusting to changed appearance, not to a study of habit formation, and later research suggests the real range is far wider and highly variable between people and behaviours. Useful as a checkpoint; not a deadline.
