Why do current Gravel bikes have such long top tubes?

Small Kona Libre is 56cm?!

So you can use an stubby stem to compensate for the slack geometry. A bit like mountain bikes

I've got two gravel bikes both 55tt same as my roadbikes. The thought of riding a 2 or 3 cm longer tt and stubby stem just feels weird.

I get that for an mtb you need that slackness for the nadgery wet rooty singletrack but on a bike that rides on fire roads I want it to feel familiar.
