Titanium for a gravel/road bike?

I thought that Ti is a very forgiving ride.....heavier then carbon but lighter than steel with complete bikes equipped with Ti frame with Ultegra weighing 20 lbs. I've read that Lynskey and Litespeed are producing relaxed geometry gravel type frames now. With Ti being a strong material and medium weight material, it seems that it would be the perfect gravel frame that doesn't give up much on the pavement either. Just not much attention to Ti anymore. Is it the cost of Ti or the advancements in carbon frames that prohibit Ti from being popular in the gravel bike market?
