Your observation is correct.  The main reason is that even the extended
MPEG-1 animations frequently "bend" the MPEG-1 standard so much, they cannot
be viewed everywhere and always without problems.  So there is little point
in sticking to that format, and usually the choice of codec is dominated by
the kind of animation and the desired audience.  Of course you could also
post in main profile MPEG-2 format, but then you could only get a few
seconds of animation posted...
