i don't think those things are mutually exclusive. lots of gravel races are really long, many also have pretty minimal support. so having a light aggressively fit bike makes sense. also a lot of people ride pretty long distances to get to nice gravel/dirt and it is annoying sometimes to only have two bottles or to have to wear a pack.

To me that's what differentiates a gravel bike and a CX bike. A CX bike is to a gravel bike as a TT bike is to a tourer. They're just the off-road equivalents.
I mean, it's got 4 bottle cage mounts on the frame; it's obviously supposed to be taken to remote places and to carry weight, rather than to enter a race on.
I bet they've given it a press-fit BB as well
