Certainly happy if not visibly damaged, why ever not?
I should think that if their initial observation was that they hit a drone and not, as seems to have happened, a bird, then I should also think they were more concerned about those parts of the aircraft that cannot be seen from the front.
While I would tend to agree with you where the strike is obvious and it is clear there was no damage done continue on, it doesn't sound as though that was the impression here. In which case, excellent job to ensure the safety of all onboard.
