Videos that are submitted in 60 FPS are only available in 60 FPS. It's getting more common as the cameras as getting cheaper.

Check this for example, you should only have the choice between 60 FPS options. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ

Videos that were submitted in 30 FPS remain as they were. It doesn't make sense to create new frames out of nothing indeed.

30fps versions are still there on the server, its the default player hiding them from you. There is even 4K 30fps file available 313.
