Quite. That is not currently likely, but there are ongoing efforts to use them for distribution to hard to get to places.

You would need to be a good shot to get a drone at 400' AGL doing 100kn plus. And you would have no way to know what the cargo was as you exposed yourself to prosecution by trying. And urgent and valuable cargo is not often easily convertible to cash! What will you do with 2 units of O neg blood or a drive belt for an infusion pump?
