This distinction only matters if the government can't subpoena private entities to hand over the footage whenever they want. (Note: I have no idea how easy it is for the government to obtain private CCTV footage in practice -- just pointing out that the fact that 92% of CCTV isn't operated by the government doesn't mean that it is not accessible to the government.)
