Two reasons:Why break it into multiple sub-genres though?
-Jrpg is meaningless term compared to crpg which has some values which can be attributed to the genre.
Minus turn based(and that only applies to early ones),jrpg's have very few identifiable gameplay elements.They are mostly different genres.
-Comparing different genres makes no sense.
They have completely different gameplay and design objectives.Compare disco to wizardry(or any modern crawler).How the hell can you even compare said games with two completely different audiences in mind?
Crpg addict tried and failed miserably in making a universal rating system.He made a skyrim rating system which shows the problem.
You have to have different values for different genres and can't just shoehorn everything into one rating system.
