For digital maps or even recorded tracks, the location of each waypoint is usually compared to a digital elevation model (DEM) to determine the total elevation gain and loss along the line. Two major factors will affect the total: sampling interval and the model itself. The gpx file itself does not contain the elevation data. (While it's possible for a gpx file to carry that information, most companies do not include that information when exporting a track and prefer to use their own DEM to determine it within the program. This is a persistent topic in support forums for digital map/track providers because some do include it in the track and some don't. For the record, we don't.)
The DEM model itself could be based on different data sources - for example there could be a LIDAR data source built into the model, which would make for a higher degree of real-world accuracy in the model. LIDAR data is expensive and hard to come by for many areas of the country/world though, so it's not always included. Another factor here is that the accuracy of a recorded gpx track may not match the accuracy level of the underlying source of elevation data (it's possible that it is much less accurate.)
Then you factor in the sampling interval when the elevation for the line is being calculated. This usually depends on the length of the line and how many waypoints are included in the line. The program doing the calculating may sample at every point, or every 50 or 100ft, or some other number that seems random but is based on various factors that I won't get into. The point is, the reported elevation change over the line can and will change depending on the sampling interval. Sampling at every point can introduce a lot of noise and make the total artificially high, while sampling too little could theoretically make it way too low. In the CalTopo terrain stats, you can resample the line at various intervals and see how the total elevation changes. Some info about terrain stats is at https://training.caltopo.com/all_users/objects/existing-lines#terrain
In your track specifically, the total is higher than the absolute number between low point and high point because you go over some smaller ups-and-downs along the route, each of which contributes to the total reported gain.
