Eli5 if gravity is an illusion caused by the curvature of spacetime why do we need to reconcile it with the standard mode.

I have heard it explained multiple time by different science educators that what we feel as gravity is a really just a consequence of curvature of spacetime and no real force is being applied. Why do we need to make gravity work with the standard model, and why are we looking for gravitons if there is no actual force and it is just caused by the geometry of the universe?
