The only thing I can surmise is that GURPS books are more about flavor and fun, and D&D stuff has a tendency to sometimes emphasize rules and game mechanics over the fun part. GURPS has had a surprisingly large influence on D&D over the years, however. I credit GURPS with pretty much the whole skill system in D&D. Of course, WotC had to water it down a lot to mesh it with their character class format.
