It isn't just stopping power. It is fidelity, confidence, and completeness of data. A camera quickly moving across a panorama opening/closing the lens every 1/30th of a second loses a ton of data compared to one opening its lens every 1/120th of a second.

Yea, but then you have to have 4x the processing power It's pretty easy to scale frame rates once you have stuff figured out, but I can see very good reasons to not have to try to get up to 120+fps right away. In addition, I'd imagine the ML they're using probably has a lot harder time distinguishing valid motion when the motion is 4x as small.

It's probably a very valid tradeoff.
