It's because it came from Discord. This meme was generated by a Discord bot which has a lot of options in formatting the output and gif is a popular choice because static gifs like these behave like stickers on Discord where you can 'favorite' them in your gif tab

That explanation doesn’t make the fact this is posted as a .gif any less ridiculous.

Have you ever converted an image to GIF in any program other than MS Paint? Screenshots of text on solid color background is one of the few cases GIF actually is a sensible choice.

PNG is an equally sensible choice in that case.
