Or perhaps it's because everyone knows that LeGuin is a science fiction
writer, and thus anything she writes must be science fiction. (Add one
large dollop of sarcasm.)

I have to agree with your assessment of ORSINIAN TALES, and I feel
obliged to point out a related novel of hers, MALAFRENA,  that
should also be to your liking (though I didn't enjoy it quite as
much as ORSINIAN TALES).
