During application review, are applicants who have not taken gap years compared to those who have only not taken gap years or are they also compared to those who have?

Applicants without gap years are not looked at separately. Nor are those who apply after 2 years of college due to AP credits allowing for early graduation.
I suspect that OP is thinking we view people as "did everything they needed to do in four years" vs "did everything needed in >4 years and is somehow flawed".
I thought of this because I didn't know if applicants with more experiences (due to time, i.e. gap year) are favored over those that do not have a gap year and have possibly less experiences.

IMHO the major benefit of gap years has more to do with maturation than accomplishments. There is a reason why you catch a break on car insurance premiums at age 25.
