Why does audio and video take so much storage?

Question

So for example, videogames are super heavy on disk space. And aparently most of that space is just the sounds, textures, models, etc. But the code takes very little space.

Why can something as complex as a physics system weight less than a bunch of images?

Code takes very little space, media takes more. But an image is just code that tells the computer how to draw something (I think)

So how come some code gets to be so small in size and some code doesn’t?

For the same reason that a recipe doesn’t take up the same space as the 5 course meal it helps you prepare
