The people who wrote the copy at those two websites don't actually ride gravel. If they did they wouldn't use the term "Gravel grinder."
I've never experienced anyone who rides gravel actually using the term.

If you include my previous post, that's at least 5 websites, with one of them being a bicycle manufacturer.
As far as website designer/editors, they usually copy and paste whatever text is given to them. Unless it's a WordPress type website where people that work for the organization can add text, which is either terms they actually use or they simply copy and paste, too.
