Why can our eyes smoothly scan a moving object like a passing car or the ball at a tennis match (when our head is still), but if we try and duplicate that dynamic without a moving object they, move in big individual movements?
Seems simply to be an involuntary / voluntary thing, but it still baffles me.

Your eyes aren’t actually moving smoothly. They still “skip” and your brain just fills in the in-between a with what it thinks should be there.
There was a sci-fi book? movie? where monsters lived or moved in the in-betweens so humans couldn’t see them.
