Perhaps because there is evidence (the evidence being that they have taken down aircraft or been taken down by aircraft) that the above are actually a threat to airliners?
Until a single shred of evidence is produced that small toy UAVs are a threat, then perhaps they should be left alone?
There are currently millions of untrained people flying quadcopters around the planet.
As far as I'm aware there is not one single case of confirmed collision yet, let alone a collision that caused life threatening damage on an airliner.
