Will Photoshop one day allow artboards to be exported as animated Gifs?

Hello
Over time, I've noticed that many users have asked why Photoshop can't export different artboards to animated Gifs.
This is a feature that saves time when creating animated Gif banners of different sizes.
- The "export artboards to files" option does not allow this.
- And the "Export to" option does allow the Gif, but it's static.
So I have to hide all the artboards and display one by one the size I want to export, using the Save for Web function. Please allow web saving for all artboards at once!

You know what, after a few minutes, I got Chat GPT writing a working script for me : save it to .jsx, then go to scripts, open it and it works alone. So why don't you add such a feature in Photoshop ?
