Not all of GURPS is generic.
DF is generic but GURPS Fantasy has several settings.
  • Banestorm
  • Romona Arcana
  • Thaumatology: Alchemical Baraoqe
  • Arabian Nights
  • Crusades
  • Camelot
  • Celtic Myth
  • China
  • Japan
  • Egypt
  • Greece
  • Castle Fakenstein
  • Conan
  • Discworld
  • Witchworld
  • Madlands
  • Myth
  • Atlantis
  • Goblins
Thats just the ancient fantasy types.

Possibly because to many people they are hard to pronounce and read.
Also there more well know so almost a brand name,
