The real question is about the default pronunciation rule for ge/gi, or at leas for gi. GIF is a fabricated word (actually, an acronym that turned into a word) and has no history.

See how there's an extra "e" in "gorgeous"? That's how you turn a "g" before a/o/u into a soft "g".
2 romance languages share the pronunciation change between e/i and a/o/u. English generally makes "g" soft with ge/gi/gy.
There are many reasons for those exceptions. Some words of Germanic origin, since the "g" is always hard, never got their spellings changed when French and Latin stems were introduced to English.
