Because fingerstyle is more of technique than a genre.

Fingerstyle technique is used to play virtually every genre of music: blues, country, jazz, pop-rock. And of course as you mention classical style is virtually all fingerstyle playing. Further, each genre uses fingerstyle technique in overlapping, but slightly different ways.

For example, fingerstyle in blues.

For example, fingerstyle in country.

I think you'll find most of the Acoustic style songs & tutorials focus on fingerstyle technique. Except for the ones that use strumming! :)

But it could be great if i (and a lot of other members) can see fingerstyle as a single categories. Thanks

This is a great suggestion! Perhaps any song or tutorial containing fingerstyle playing could have a keyword tag. Thanks!
