No, it's a game mechanic difference. Much as RQ was designed with Battle Magic and Rune Magic, and this was used despite it not being a perfect fit for Glorantha, MRQ has a new magic system which will be used for Gloranthan gaming, but don't draw too much from it.

I think first RPG stats for Gloranthan characters were D&D stats for the superheroes, but I wouldn't infer that you become a D&D character when you master the infinity rune.
