This is the Shita of the Behag2 matzos on weeknights 3 on Shabbos [See Tur].
The Ga'onim [perhaps/probably  AFTER the BEHAG] introduced the requirement
of Lechem Mishnah on YT. A big Tzarich Iyyun for me is that the Rambam
accepts this Ga'onic ruling but uses ONLY 2 matzos at the Seder [apparently
even on Friday Night]

Lich'ora the problem with the Rosh [et. al.] is that he takes the lechem
Mishneh ruling on YT as axiomatic, although this can be shown to be missing
from the text of the Talmud, OTOH Ashkenazim  OFTEN accept ancient
non-textual sources as EQUIVALENT of Talmudic
sources.

The BY/SA paskens 3 matzos because bottom line this is the overwhelming
consensus of Poskim [iow rishonim] ignoring the analysis of original sources
AND his stated Beth Din of Rambam/Rif/Rosh which SHOULD have produced a
result of 2.

AISI, the BY [and Rema] both hold the bottom line is consensus.
