Quite a few things going on here…
Regs are for safety of flight, not commercial expediency. Implied in that safety of flight is a human onboard, if no onboard human life at risk then priority is not there. An exception would be if a TFR is established for a specific mission/time where a UAS has a lifesaving mission.
“Nobody is in charge” is not an excuse or confidence building statement. Some living breathing PIC must be accountable and responsive…regardless of command/control logistics or corporate liability shielding.
Winning the trust war vs battle…right or wrong, things like trolling social security number indexed databases and using ADS-B out to charge for services are individual battles won, but remain as factors in how much trust is left to draw upon.
