those in between sounds are actually something special to a strat, gives a glassy, twangy sound. I think U2, John Mayer uses alot of bridge+middle

If you read up the strat history, you can see that they were initially produced with only a switch for 3 positions, but musicians eventually found out that they could have another sound by putting the switch in between positions 1-2 and 2-3.

also, the reason that they gives a strat 5-way instead of 3 is that when switching from 1 position to another there will be a "no sound" stage in the 3-way config.
