They are not hardcoded: that's just the default value of
org-latex-pdf-process which can be customized.

The three pdflatex runs are a "safe" default which avoids
incompatibilities between systems.

The customization options for org-latex-pdf-process list some other
possibilities which one might choose in preference to the default. If
texify can do the job (even if it does not exist on all systems of
interest), I would suggest adding it to the customizations menu of the
variable, so it can be chosen by a user as his/her personal default.
