I like to knw why we use "gmake bootstrap-lean" to compile GCC instead

there in 2 cases for GCC compiler.
We have no idea why you do that.
The difference is that during bootstrap-lean old stages are removed
when they are no longer needed. That is, bootstrap-lean uses less
disk space. There is no difference in the compiler.
I thought OP might be asking why it took so long for gcc build to
implement a default which should know when bootstrap is required. Only
the recent versions can build from scratch without explicit bootstrap
option.
