What’s going on in this jump? Why is the front wheel so high and why doesn’t the back wheel follow the same trajectory?
Any tips?

You’re not letting the bike up because your legs stay straight. But honestly, this isn’t bad technique in my opinion. I like jumping like this especially when I’m not sure how much speed I need. This way you still have some room to adjust for the landing, know what I mean?
It looks to me like you just cruised off the lip with straight legs and lifted the front end with your arms. If you squat through the lead up and extend your legs as you go up so you’re basically jumping as you clear the lip you’ll get more of an upward trajectory. Then tuck your legs again when you lift the bike for more height at the apex. A lot of features won’t get you that much height unless you work for it.
