Bikes don't always prefer gravel, like any other user of the circuit, it depends on the corner.
A low side with the bike sliding to a halt on its side with just ground down pegs, bars and scuffed up fairing.
The same low side, bike skids of on its side, wheels hit the gravel digging in. The momentum of the bike picks it up throwing itself into the air with several hard landings on different parts of the bike causing total destruction.
By the same token, riders slide to a halt on Tarmac, gravel tends to throw them about, but as I say different corners need different solutions.
