GB is not "more neutral".

Great Britain is the name of the post 1707 Union of England and Scotland. It's not neutral if you are a member of the Unionist community in Northern Ireland.

The United Kingdom is the name used by the country at the UN but is, of course, not neutral if one is a member of the Nationalist community in Northern Ireland.

No one uses .co.gb domains.

Here .... en-ie and en-gb are different things, because the Irish English dialect is a bit more distant from British English than the Scottish one. Whereas .uk is a country code representing a specific political entity.
