Why does the United States Govt. regulate high speed cameras?

While watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZYM_MUlBGY he mentions that cameras over 1 million fps are highly regulated. After a few google searches I've seen similar questions related to this very video, yet with no real answer (most are wild govt conspiracy theories).

Side Note: As to why he has access to C4, I believe he is an arms/explosives contractor. Figured I'd save you the time comparing the regulation of explosives vs cameras (like I did).

It's possible that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Just because some guy on YouTube said something doesn't mean it's true.

Military. Long story short when you are trying to say shoot down a missile with another missile if you can process more frames per second the better ability you have to correct your course faster.

I think it's more about standards quality and reproducibility than anything else. But that's just really just a slightly.educated guess.
