You can absolutely get such a bike today, even from the brands you already mentioned. But as a marketing category it's been passed by. You can find plenty of other bikes that do the same thing from all the major brands, but it might be "adventure" or "gravel" or "fitness" or "cross". Trek has four hundred and six models on their website... one will work.
