Steel Man of Einstein & Relativity.

"2. What Einstein did not believe: the geometrization of gravity:
What does it mean to say that GR ‘geometrized’ gravity? Does it
just mean that gravity is described by using particular mathematical
tools? Or does it mean that gravity has been ontologically reduced to
(spacetime) geometry in some sense? In this section,
we shall see that Einstein believed that at best ‘geometrization’
means the former—and is thus trivial—and at worst it means the
latter and is wrong." - "Why Einstein did not believe that general
relativity
geometrizes gravity"

Curved space is to ontologically reduce it to geometry as a cause of
gravity. This is a purely reification fallacy and wrong.
