Dungeon World will always have a special place in my heart because it had answers to what I disliked about DnD a decade ago, and lead me to finding systems that I love, but you're absolutely right about it being too generic for its own good. PbtA's strengths are in genre fiction and melodrama, which is why systems like Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, and Masks will always have new groups picking them up, but "it's like DnD" isn't a genre - different groups play the game so radically different that it's barely even a feeling.
The game is the most negative tropes of being a half-breed: PbtA players don't like it because it's trying to make itself more like DnD, and DnD players don't like it because it's not DnD. Sure there are probably some people in the perfect spot of the Venn diagram where it's the best choice for them, but almost everyone would be happier leaning harder in either direction. A game for everyone is a game for no-one!
