MJPEG is a common encoding format for computer vision cameras. The artifacts associated with inter-frame compression is perfectly tolerable for humans, but it can completely stymie a lot of CV applications. High-efficiency video codecs rely on motion prediction to reduce file size - fine for watching Game of Thrones, but a disaster if you're a motion tracking algorithm. Given the target market for this chip, it's a perfectly logical and highly useful feature.
