You see video of rockets with munitions in them like surface -to-air and plane mounted rockets and they seem to move so quick. Why do these massive rockets seem to move slow? Is it payload? Do they speed up as they reach the stratosphere?

As mentioned, the zooming in from a distance has a bit to do with how it’s perceived. The viewing angle changes little as the object is tracked into the sky.
There also isn’t much in the way of reference points. That cloud see in the background is miles away.
Compare this to a zoomed shot of a rally race. That car is buzzing past objects like trees and ballsy photographers at seemingly unreal speeds. But they are within arms reach almost.
Rockets are launched is into a vast pocket of nothing to compare it’s speed to.
