So it makes sense Force is an element. Because Wind is an element. And Force=Wind. But gravity? That's not an element in any way. So there's a reason for why it can't be an element even if Force (which is WIND) can be one.

I mean, I believe it can be simulated, using Dust in creative ways to imitate the force of gravity, like something to pull the target to the ground (I can see someone sticking their Metal Sword in the chest of a Grimm, then use a Pyrrha-Semblance ripoff to pummel the Grimm to the ground using it), or keep it floating (Wind may be required. Or water. Or both). But gravity itself?

If Gravity can be Dust, then Time can be Dust, Newton's Laws can be Dust. And these are not elements in any way, much less than Gravity. I wouldn't call force == wind. Force is a vector used to cause acceleration on an object. Wind is air that has been affected by force. It would make more sense to say that wind = force + air. I'd say that force could not be a type of dust, in and of itself, but could be an after effect of wind-based dust. Gravity is force, more than wind is in fact, as gravity is the force that causes about 9.8 m/s/s of acceleration towards the center of the earth on all objects on the earth, although that measure is clearly only meant to refer to the earth itself.
