Thats the progress of video compression.

MPEG2 is the dinosaur of its world, MP4 (x264) gives the same quality for less space.
Even thats out of date now, HEVC (x265) gives the same quality for even less space (up to 50% less in many cases).
The problem with HEVC is that many devices are not capable of decoding it properly yet.
