I think setting books don't do well for GURPS because people are drawn to GURPS as a builder's kit. Why would you invest energy in a widget-builder's kit and then just buy a pre-packaged widget?
DFRPG, however, is considerably less of a builder's kit than GURPS. It works far more easily right out of the box, without tweaking or selecting options or winnowing rule selections. The sort of player who would be interested in DFRPG is therefore potentially broader than for GURPS. Setting material might appeal to them.
The real question, though, is whether DFRPG is really attracting those sorts of players. I have my doubts, but I have no data, just a sense of the room.
