SFP/QSFP/PCIe etc., are combining multiple lanes originating from a physical bundle of limited size; transmitters could easily share a single clock source. The wire protocol includes additional signalling that lets the receiver know how to recombine the bits coming over each lane in the correct order.

In contrast, Ethernet link aggregation lets you combine ports that can be arbitrarily far apart -- maybe not even within the same rack (see MC-LAG). Ethernet link aggregation doesn't add any encapsulation or sequencing information to the data flows it manages.

You can imagine an alternate mechanism which added a small header to each packet with sequence numbers; the other end of the aggregation would then have to remove that header after sorting the packets in order..
