In 2017 this popped up:

https://kottke.org/17/04/incredible-low-light-camera-turns-n...

and the quality of nightvision is much better than the one shown in this video. Or am I missing something?

The X27 in the link is a high-ISO (5'000'000) digital system, so it may have lag that could effect people who are wearing it (e.g., motion sickness).

The goggles you see folks wearing on their heads is analog amplification, so has zero lag.

There are use-cases for both.

To each their own. "Black silicon" and other high-sensitivity CMOS cameras are way better in starry nights, from what I understand, but conventional night visions are more useful in moonless/starless nights, as well as poorly lit indoors. Assuming you have any reasons to "operate" under starless skies.
