Most people see smooth movement. The brain usually interpolates for us as part of its normal wetware, such as blind spot filling, blur when moving your eyes quickly, low light vision, etc. People who are more visually sensitive and get motion sickness from moving pictures probably just have different circuitry that is more sensitive to the digital/analog mismatch.

I would say your visual experience is fairly rare, but common enough that I regularly encounter people that have various issues with digital motion. I have no problems with low framerates myself, but I do find camera shake (especially as so common in video games now) to be nauseating, though it seems most people have zero issue with it.
