GGI assumes a reasonably Unix-like environment. The systems I work
with (like many current research operating systems) are generally not
even slightly Unix-like. Some of them aren't even written in C, and
don't support a C runtime environment.
Of course it would be possible to port it to each system - but that's
more work, of course.

The netboot support isn't complete, of course - not that I'm
complaining. Supporting a serial console should be possible, but is
complicated by GRUB's use of full-screen menus.
