A major downside of this approach is that it typically requires two separate tickets, with all of the risks of such a setup. If any of the flights is delayed/cancelled/rescheduled, you will likely have no right to adjust the other ticket to match (because it's formally an unrelated trip), so making the necessary arrangements tends to be really expensive in such a situation.

Yes, that is what I thought too and is brilliant. I was looking to find a way to make it cheaper to book them all-together and hopefully considerably cheaper.

@TooTea That is not a concern here as the distance between each flight is not short (it's a stopover and not a layover).

@HandsomeNerd I shouldn't have mentioned delays,but cancellations are still a big concern. If the A-B-A airline tells you "we're cancelling your flight, here's your refund" a few days or so before departure, you'll be left with a completely useless B-C-B ticket unless you book a replacement for the first part,which will likely be really expensive at that point. I'm assuming the three cities are relatively far from each other so that flights are scarce or expensive (otherwise you could have made a separate trip to B whenever you wanted).

@TooTea, airlines usually have to offer an option to rebook you, can't just give you a refund unless you agree to it. Otherwise, they could routinely kick off cheap fare passengers whenever a higher-paying one shows up.
