I have to wonder if they had a permit for this. In Nepal drone flying is illegal; they confiscate drones. The mountain range is a holy place.

But leaving dying people on the ground as you continue to push through to the summit is fine...well Everest is a crazy place I guess

The people making the laws are usually not climbing the mountain.
It doesn't change that the mountain range is a holy place for the people of Nepal.

So a bunch of corpses and tons of climbing trash does not desecrate the place but flying a drone does?

Half of the mountain is in Tibet/China, and DJI is a Chinese company. But climbing from Tibetan side is a bit more challenging.
