The geometry of gravel bikes is much closer to 90s cross country mountain bikes than modern road bikes.

That's not really true. Gravel bikes have geometries ranging from aero race bike geometriea to hardtail MTBs. I'd say most have very similar geometries to endurance road bikes though (similar stack/reach, 71ish HT angle, 425-430mm chainstays)
