Why "movie music" isn't nearly as much used too (if it even is used)? It's a much more patterned type of music. I listen to both to know there's way more "orchestrated/classical" movie soundtracks than there are "8-bit/chiptune" video game soundtracks.

Video game music is not a genre. There is no pattern between the games' soundtracks.
