The reason is that if updates happen in the middle of the screen for example. Then you can just cut out the bounding rectangle, which is essentially what dynamic-gif-stack does. The images are an order of magnitude smaller that way (200bytes vs 2kb).

node-png and node-jpeg have fixed-{png,jpeg}-stack where the user can specify the size.
