It gives lots of advice on different setups, the quick pantheon is only one. DMG Page 10: "To quickly build a pantheon for your world, create a single god for each of the eight domains available to clerics" and it says why "This approach gives you a small pantheon that covers the most significant aspects of existence, and it's easy enough to extrapolate other areas of life each deity controls."The sample pantheon immediately after the quick pantheon advice has 20 gods with a number of them having multiple domains.Earlier it says "Most D&D worlds have a loose pantheon of gods. A multitude of deities rule the various aspects of existence, variously cooperating with and competing against one another to administer the affairs of the universe."</blockquote>
