I go one step further and say you should be able to customize your gearing as well as crank length, handlebar width and stem length on new bikes or have shops that allow you to build up a frame from base without much extra cost from the baseline.
I think I saw some 'all road bike' that came with sub 1:1 gearing right out the box somewhere recently but manufacturers try to equip their bikes with what they think appeals to the broadest range of people possible and to be honest I think the vast majority of all people never even encounter a double digit gradient. The giga road rampa grinding wattlet is probably one of the rarest types and those you can just force to buy gravel stuff
