I think that oversimplifies it. I have a gravel bike, but really it's more of a road bike with a little extra; it looks more like a road bike than a 90s MTB. It doesn't like the rockier rooty trails pictured in this article but it loves a bit of moderate gravel. It's a road bike with a little extra capacity that can handle some abuse. It does the stuff that my mountain bikes find boring for a totally different riding experience. Compared to riding the shore it's a mental palate cleanser, a tool for just cruising the mind and that's not for everyone.
