Video playback is not smooth in Lightroom Classic CC

[DavidMario]

I'm using the latest version of Lightroom Classic CC. Videos with higher framerate than 30FPS like 60FPS and 120FPS playback is choppy and stutter.

However, I can play those video smoothly with any other video players like Quicktime and VLC.

yeah that's true

How can a software that charges me $10 per month can't play videos as smooth as a free software like VLC? Is Adobe aware of that?

I use Lightroom as a Digital Asset Manager hence I want to manage both videos and photos.

Are there any ways to fix this problem?

They are aware. But it clearly is not a priority to fix. That said, playback performance in video apps from Adobe like Premiere is also not as good as that in simple quicktime player or VLC. You should go to https://feedback.photoshop.com and add your voice to one of many threads on this there. This forum is just user to user and no Adobe engineers hang out here in general.
