It's not just you. I ride both MTB and road, and from that perspective a Gravel Bike is simply a roadbike which is less picky about the surface its being ridden on. Any kind of serious offroading on a Gravel is just a pain and no fun at all when compared to a flat bar mountainbike.
That's casual riding, obviously. The competition scenes are totally different.
