Let me try to explain to you the difference between your little brown sauce, and the 3 primordial sauces. First of all, your brown sauce is mostly specific to Ireland and England in terms of presence. The 3 PSs are everywhere.

Which leads to the second point: Almost every person in this day and age knows what Ketchup, Mayo and Mustard are. Even those who don't know their names can recognize them. Brown sauce, is not even 1/4 as well known, and unless you ask an Irish/British, 8/10 times at the least, they'll think you mean another brown-colored sauce.
