Having come into 3E with no prior experience in roleplaying, I was not aware of the existence of Greyhawk until well into that edition's cycle. In fact, the only ties the core books have to Greyhawk are the pantheon list and the proper possessives on some of the spell names. Contrast with 4E, where many of Nentir Vale's features were assumed in places like the Shadowfel and the Feywild.As
Nothing new, but the "default" setting for 3e was Greyhawk, the original RPG gaming world that's been around since the 1970s. As I stated above, I haven't followed gaming closely and have played 3e/3.5e/PF as much as 4e, but I knew Greyhawk was the default setting for 3e and didn't know Nentir Vale was for 4e. I thought it was just "Points of Light" that could be placed in nearly any world.
Note that I prefer the setting agnosticism of 3E. Fitting 4E into my homebrew worlds required some shoehorning of the two other planes.
