Except it works good with the rest of the industry. So why should a private, recreational drone operator be treated any differently? Ignorance is not a defense. As to TFRs, it’s the operators regulatory responsibility to check for TFRs prior to each flight. A better alternative would be to mandate Remote ID for all drones before further flight effective yesterday which would allow the use of existing systems to monitor restricted airspace. And as an added caveat require the Remote ID to be active before the drone software will allow flight.
