+1. It doesn't help that "cross" bikes were always kind of a nebulous market anyway. Sometimes they were legitimate cyclocross racing bikes, sometimes they were cyclocross-ish try-to-do-anything bikes, sometimes they were just warmed-over hybrids.
While some of the hardware changes are lost on me, I think "gravel" bikes generally suit recreational gravel riders a lot better than pretend cyclocross bikes did.
