Why is gravity visualized by putting a heavy object on a flat plane, creating the curved shape, when space is 3D?

Wouldn’t it curve and pull objects in all directions?

Because visualizing it with 3d space is like looking at reality. Literally, look around you. That’s what it looks like.

To understand why reality is the way it is, it helps to visualize it at a lower dimensional plane, as a representation.
