umm, hate to break it out to You, but... there's no such thing as a "perfect bike". This is why we have Rule #12 amongst the Velominati, the Keepers of the Cog.

"The ideal number of bikes is always n+1, where n is the current number of bikes" Everyone's commute is slightly different and while I use my gravel as a commuter just like You do, there's always the matter of personal preference. What if You prefer to ride in regular clothes and "style" is a thing? Those dutch bikes someone mentioned a few comments ago are great for that. What if You're riding through dense traffic / cityscape half of the time? A narrow bar fixie perhaps? I like being able to get some exercise while commuting as well, but that's not necessarily true for everyone.
