It's about exhausting a muscle. And doing pullups just doesn't require that kind of rest period.

Yeah...maybe doing super heavy squats or massively heavy bench. But doing pullups? No way you would rest 3 minutes. You might as well just go home.
Pull ups are primarily about anaerobic endurance, not strength/power. Lifting weights for maximum muscle growth and doing body weight exercises are very different things.
