Video formats like webp exploit temporal and spatial similarities to get efficiency. Gif/apng do not. This reduces bandwidth costs and file sizes very much.

Download a dozen random GIF cinemagraphs, and try gif2webp and gif2apng on them.
Try ffmpeg or vlc instead, you will get much better results. Ffmpeg has support for almost all video/audio formats ever invented.
