One must be careful in general cause a pdf doesnt always exist, but here taking this. The reason they dont raise the pdf to the third power to find the joint pdf of 3 variables is a because that is not how you calculate the joint pdf and 2 they are not looking for the joint pdf of the three variables. When we move into integral land, the concept of convolution still carries over, and once you get a handle. The joint distribution of two order statistics let denote the order statistics of a random sample, from a continuous population with cdf and pdf.
