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.

Except its not about exhausting the muscle on every single set. High rep work with little rest also induces sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (pump/volumizing effect of the muscle and is temporary), not myofibrillar hypertrophy. Myofibrillar is what grows the muscle.
A pull up is a compound movement not a concentration movement, they are very different. You would want to rest a minimum of 30 seconds between pull up sets especially if you're going to failure each time. Weighted pull ups are a whole nother ball game
