I concur. I think when something becomes popular enough, it transcends categories in the minds of readers. "Oh, this isn't SF. It's a best seller!"
And there have been things over the years arguably SF, but published as "literary", with authors carefully not using the SF word to avoid being categorized as writing "that crazy Buck Rogers stuff".
