LAGs stripe traffic across links at the packet level, whereas QSFP/OSFP lanes do so at the bit level.

Different sized packets on different LAG links will take different amounts of time to transmit. So when striping bits, you effectively have a single ordered queue, whereas when striping packets across links, there are multiple independent queues.
