Well while you're here, there definitely are some issues with animated image support. Just earlier this week I attempted to use an animated .avif as my avatar image. It uploaded fine, the preview showed it fine, but the actual applied image was static again. Not sure if there's some issues with in the pipeline to handle those.
I feel like most forums etc. don't accept animated images as an avatar because they are annoying. It's not a technical constraint, it's a UX thing.
