A lot of the old pulp stuff was very sci-fantasy, like He-Man.

i think i could play in a pirates of the caribbean world and have it feel like a sufficiently DnD game, but that has guns, cannons and grenades/bombs, but still manages to have it's fair share of swordplay and melee combat.

Every setting doesn't need gunpowder, but to me the idea that gunpowder makes something feel not fantasy is really weird. Like have people not heard of Warhammer Fantasy?

Yeah pretty much blunderbuss pistols are as essential to ‘Pirate fantasy’ as parrots, eye patches and peg-legs

It has never bothered me. Old D&D was full of weird stuff. DA Temple of the Frog anyone? Dying Earth is in Appendix N. Tech and D&D go hand in hand.

Dave Arneson, co-creator of D&D, was really into sci-fantasy combos. His Blackmoor, the first D&D fantasy setting, was a post-apocalyptic setting devolved into a medieval one.
