That is totally legit.
The way I see it, If I fleshed it out with systems I'd be presenting only one book, rather than three. And if I focused on one book then there's be a 1/3 chance it wouldn't be worth someone's time ("Hell doesn't exist in my fantasy games," "Too Mythos-y for my tastes.", "I hate elves.")
Plus I admit to being more enamored of presenting the ideas and a broad overview, leaving folks free to adapt that idea to whatever systems they happen to be using. I hear it runs about 50/50 on whether porting system-specific things into a different game is a hindrance to use and/or enjoyment, or really is no big deal.
