Don't miss the obvious point. You appear to be eminently qualified to operate a drone/UAS in a commercial capacity. Your aviation experience and training put you in good stead to manage the risks carefully and generally avoid any potential conflict with manned aircraft.
But now here's the rub. Any dull-witted Neanderthal can buy a drone/UAS with little bother, sit on the end of an active approach and scare the living Jesus out of commercial pilots, or cause any kind of hazard around a myriad of flight operations (recent Fire Fighting drops spring to mind).
There are no aircraft being operated commercially without a fully trained and qualified crew at the controls (well, hardly any) but the same is not true for drones/UAS. The rules are not written for you - they are written for the lowest common denominator, you just get caught up in the subsequent effects.
