  1. so what if no other manufacturers do it? Maybe they should be forced to.

  2. the hyperbole at the end of your comment is not necessary or helpful. We literally just saw a drone ground a firefighting plane in Los Angeles, so we know they can cause major problems at the worst possible times. Maybe it's not a big deal on an everyday basis, but in disasters like the Los Angeles Fires of course more idiot content creators than usual are going to have their drone in the air collecting footage.

  3. more and more people are getting drones so there are only going to be more and more problems as they grow in popularity.
