Perhaps it's a form of hipster irony, since by and large all GIF sites and social media sites now convert source GIFs to mp4.

There are still plenty of contexts where you can embed images but not videos (or at least not with automatic looping playback) - forums, github README.md, other markdown-based comment/post systems.

Gif compression limitations also encourage you to cut down to the essential parts - too many videos waste the viewers time with delays and irrelevant bits.
