Why is gravity still described as a “force” when Einstein described it as the curvature of spacetime?

Question

Gravity- it’s known as the “weakest fundamental force”, but we know the “attraction” is really just objects falling along the curvature of space toward a more massive object. I don’t understand how this explanation of gravity relates to the other fundamental forces.

It’s not. Gravity just “acts” like a force. So it’s really just an easier description for an otherwise complicated subject.
