I read somewhere that the reason it has the small headtube is that it's lugged and the available lugs are limited.

I don't really care about lugs, but if you like them then I guess it's just the price you pay.

It looks more like surly geo where rather than square CTC it’s longer than it is tall. Hard to be sure without seeing a geo chart. Obviously this worked OK with quill stems and suits people that either run super slammed or a massive Scoble stack, it also comes back to the question of “ UK gravel” if this bike destined for the leafy tow path /New Forest fireroad end of the gravy spectrum then doesn’t matter so much, but the market is already saturated with bikes that’ll do that. If destined for actual off riding, doesn’t really make much sense.
Going slightly taller in ST/HT could have given same aesthetic but less ridiculous post and spacers.
Don’t give me “but stand over” pls
