Which then aren't really forces but same geometric effects as gravity? I thought that gravity is caused by motion through time combined with spacetime geometry. Kind of like a treadmill on which we roll, and if it curves forces appear. It doesn't make much intuitive sense so far to me, so the only way to understand is to go to math, and the wrong trampoline analogy only makes it worse.

Exactly, they aren't really forces but features/effects of how mass and spacetime interact with eachother. Spacetime is a field, with which mass interacts with, being a mass of collection of forces if it's own.
