120Hz and 240Hz make sense because they're integer multiples of 60, but 144 and 165 seem completely arbitrary.

144 kinda makes sense since it's 12^2, at least

240hz is difficult to achieve. 120hz is decently easier but companies feel they can do 144hz and now 165hz without too much extra difficulty so they offer it because they think the customer will be more enticed to buy the higher refresh rates

60Hz came about solely because that's the alternating-current cycle. Pretty much all modern electronics are DC powered, thus refresh rates are arbitrary.

Some Google searching and slight delving tells me it's because standard movie framerate is 24 fps. 24x6 = 144 and 24x7 = 168 (which is close enough to 165.)
