Comment on DJI No Longer Blocks Flights over Airports and Military Basesparent

Define "bigger threat".

It could be the feature was so half-baked that it kicked in and dropped a bunch of drones out of the sky and DJI had to cough up refunds. It could be that DJI knows something about upcoming legal issues with the current administration. It could be that Chinese intelligence wants flyovers of restricted airspaces.

DJI isn't "just" a company--it's an arm of the Chinese government. Trying to predict what's happening at the interface between those two is like trying to read tea leaves--only reading tea leaves is likely to be more accurate and consistent.
