Agreed. 3, SA, and VC were so successful that when similar original games came out, most people just called them "GTA clones." Just like with Doom back in the 90s, where any FPS was a Doom clone.

They were clones, aside from Mafia, almost none was worth it.

But "Doom clone" was actually a "Doom like" game, the genre grew quick.
