You would think the third baseman would make the easier play and not throw to second base or first base for the out.

I have seen the third baseman step on third base for a force out and then complete the double play at first base.
I’ve seen rundowns between 2nd and 3rd but I can’t say I’ve ever seen a tag of 3rd, which as Matt said is a lowkey rare play.
