Copied, not re-encoded

MP4 and M4A are the same MPEG-4 container, one with a video track and one without. Extracting the audio is a remux, so the AAC stream arrives identical to the one inside the video and nothing is lost a second time.

Better than MP3 at the same size

AAC keeps more detail than MP3 at the same bitrate, which is why Apple, YouTube and most streaming services settled on it. MP3, WAV, FLAC and WMA are in the same format list if you need one of those instead.
