Completely agree with you. Not only that, but Snap (it seems) have done a great job in limiting the features so it only focuses on their core users use case.

They didn't go for a skydio "follow me when I go for a run" they don't have a flight path. Though you likely could get the drone into trouble if you tried, a 30 second clip is enough for it to start flying, you move a few feet away, it follows you with a very close range, and then it is ready to land again.

A great example of constraints making a better/simpler product.
