That's because the GAU-8 shoots 30mm rounds. Most miniguns shoot smaller bullets (7.62*51 NATO or even 5.56*45 NATO) which makes their recoil managable in short bursts. A minigun with reduced fire rate firing pistol ammo (like in fortnite or zombs) is going to have managable recoil even if fired continuously.
