Gunpowder is a technology that has been lost and rediscovered a couple times, much like heavier-than-air flight. In the current era it hasn't been reinvented yet. given that the discovery of gunpowder was more or less an accident, I think that's pretty reasonable.
Thee are no visible utilty fogs, much as I loved the Centauri Knights setting. Same goes for anti-gunpowder bacteria.
And to be honest, the basic root of UTGM was a sword-and-sorcery setting, and to my mind, guns don't quite fit. There are "artifact" weapons that are better than guns, but that's a different story.
