I think the fundamental issue here is that the more popular Gravel social commentators were at a loss to explain the growth of Gravel events - having little participation in other cycling disciplines - so they looked to the most popular types of cycling (UCI Professional) and applied that framework to Gravel.
People see the pros and want to do what the pros do, so the closer they can get to the pros the more they want to do it.
Sort of but not really.
