Hah, yeah. It was meant as a joke. I completely agree with you, all the standards they use are fine, it really does comes down to clearance and a very conservative choice of road only frames.
But if they want to retire and have no one to succeed them then any gravel frame wouldn’t have changed that.

Ok, maybe rim brakes. Slightly.
The clearance is the real killer.
