The answer
The explicit three-in-one wording appears in no Greek manuscript from the first millennium; it surfaces in the Latin tradition and enters printed Greek Bibles only in the 1500s. That's why modern translations set it aside.
Why it’s interesting
It made it into the King James Version through a printed Greek text of the day, which is how a verse absent from the early manuscripts became familiar to generations of readers. The scholarship here is about tracing a line back through the copies to see when it first appears.
