I don't think it's confusing, I think it's unintentionally funny.
TV Tropes: GURPS Mana levels are misnamed because Normal Mana isn't the most common.
OP: You know what will fix this? Let's rename the most common one using a word that literally means "least common"!
"High Fantasy" meaning "secondary world" and "Low Fantasy" meaning "historical fantasy" is way older than GURPS. It's only very recently, I think within the last decade, that people, mainly gamers, started using "High Fantasy" to mean "Dungeons and Dragons", I think because of WotC ad copy.
