Because they’re photos, with a bit of video added for effect when you’re scrolling through them.

No, they're regular photos, with some lower-quality video added for context.

Videos are recorded at 4K/8MP. Photos up to 48MP.

Because you can share them as photos and the composited image can be shared to the recipient.

Cell signals use way too much battery to be sending them with the phone turned off.
