sure, you can have the thing spitting out lines as fast like, thats not the issue.

you are limited by shutter speed, as you know, even if the shutter isn't global. (lidar is too, but we'll get to that in a bit)

Any kind of object/slam/3d recovery system will almost certianly use descriptors. Something like orb/surf/sift/other require a whole bunch of pixels before they can actually work.

only once you have feature detection can you extract 3d information. (either in stereo or monocular)

A datum from a lidar has intrinsic value, as its a 3d point. Much more importantly it does drift, event the best slam drifts horribly.

Lidar will be superior for at least 5 years, with major investment possibly 10.
