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.

This just came up in another post and the concensus was pretty much that the curvature doesn’t explain the mechanism(s) that convert the potential energy to kinetic energy, or in other words how this explanation relates to the others.
