There are a few questions on here about why Gravity is not a force, but I'm having trouble grasping why exactly.

It sounds to me that Gravity is not a force because it is simply a by-product of mass on spacetime. How does this differ from the strong nuclear force? Are the other forces not an effect of the presence of a particle?

I apologize if this is an overly simple question, I'm not well-versed in physics.

The force in general, including its particular case the Gravity, is a byproduct of mass, space and time because it is measured in $kg*m/s^2$.
