GIF has minuscule compression, all dealing with color reduction and dithering. MP4 and other video types use tracking data.

GIF simply is a set of images all in a row, no smart tracking at all.
Another problem is GIF is horrible with matrix compression, so large images use much more in the way of file size and resources than a smaller image.
