I always assumed GTA to be a broad parody on modern America. From the beginning it was a new York esque mob-gang warfare, and then moved out to add in more usa adjacent scenery. It's more about keeping with the theme, let IPs like watchdogs take the initial risks.

Good point. And Florida has become crazy enough that a GTA game set there is almost realistic.
