For drones it makes sense. Drones could boot up with all config in RAM so as to be completely devoid of mission parameters once power is cut.
Sure. There's no way that in combat you could experience a temporary power loss. Nope, that could never happen.
If your drone has power loss during flight, I think you have other problems.
Pay close attention to the word "temporary." In normal flight, it's not that unusual for flight instruments to have to be rebooted because of unexpected glitches.
