A lot of it comes down to storage space and camera quality

In the olden analog times, we had to record to video tape and that was terrible quality anyway. Modern HD TVs are 1920×1080 resolution and 4k is.3840×2160. But old timey videotape was more like 720×480. That would definitely create a grainy, low wuality picture.

But it would help to know where you are seeing these low quality cameras. On TV or movies? Or online for sale?
