Hi there,
It's for site semantics.
See a brief explanation here -

More from the source -

It's hard coded on the theme's header.php
https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/master/header.php
It's really up to you if you wish to remove it.
As for actually removing it, you'll need to create a child theme and copy the header.php on the child theme's root folder.
You then edit this child theme copy of header.php, removing that line of code.
Thank You Elvin
after reading the explanation I will leave it alone

No problem. :D
