I think that's an accurate assessment of where 'drones' are headed.

Speaking for myself, I don't fly my DJI Phantom nearly as much now as I did a year ago when I got it. The 'new' has kind of worn off, and frankly, it's a little boring to fly. I would suspect there are other 'drone' flyers out there that have probably reached the same place. So, it mostly sits on the shelf now, I take it to the field in case a club bubba loses a plane in the woods and an eye in the sky might help locate it. I sometimes fly just off the shore line to fish spot and see if it's worth getting the kayak out.
