It takes some skill to do that kind of thing (or some clever software, but I'm not aware of any video/image editors with something like that built in). Grabbing a couple of frames of someone making a funny face is easy. Once gifs caught on again it was inevitable you'd get more of the easy thing than the hard thing.
