What is PPM?
PPM is a Netpbm image: a tiny text header giving the dimensions, then raw pixel values with no compression whatsoever. Almost nothing displays it, which is rather the point - it is what image-processing code and academic tools emit when they want to be trivially readable.
What is TIFF?
TIFF is the archival and print format - lossless, high bit depth, and flexible enough to hold multiple pages in one file. Scanners, publishing workflows and document archives lean on it heavily. Browsers have never displayed it, which is why it is offered here as a target rather than a source.
