Grob gambit with bg2 is called that because it transposes into the Grob gambit
but if the opponent doesn't allow for the Grob gambit, then it's still called "Grob gambit with 2. Bg2," and no material has been sacrificed

It is still the Grob gambit with bg2 but if the opponent doesn’t play d5 then it’s no longer the opening
if the opponent plays something like this

Uh you are still gambitting a pawn in that line
not always, just look at this line
in this line, you are not losing any material, and it's still considered a "gambit"

Uh that is not part of the opening name the idea is for you to play d5 if not then it’s not the opening look up the definition of gambit
"a chess opening in which a player risks one or more pawns or a minor piece to gain an advantage in position" okay, I'll admit, I was wrong about the definition, but in the center gambit, you are sacrificing a pawn in order to gain an advantage

I know but much of the openings you showed that you called gambit needs to be renamed
you mean the double urusov and copycat?
The double urusov I guess we could rename to "petrov's defense: urusov, mirror variation," but the copycat IS a gambit
you sacrifice a pawn, their best move is to take a different pawn, but no matter what you sac a pawn
yes, that's part of the gambit
