.txt and .doc files are both file types that store text information. .doc files have an advantage over .txt files because .doc files can store formatting while .txt cannot. .jpg and .gif are both file types that store image information. .gif has an advantage over .jpg in that .gif files can store animations whereas .jpg files cannot.
We cannot have just one universal standard format for all of each media type because different types of programs and machines have different rules and standard that govern information interpretation.
