The task force pointedly set the threshold for mass of a sUAS required to be registered based on consideration of safety of persons on the ground. They did not base it on the potential for crashing into full scale planes, citing a lack of data to justify doing so. .
This would make sense only if registration would have prevented any incident in the past.

I don't think I could come up with a single incident that would have been prevented by a registration Law.

I do not see the wisdom of being able to assign blame post incident. If and only if the person at fault is a follower of the rules.
