I don't understand your argument: what has DJI - a manufacturer of personal use drones - with the US military wanting to build weaponized drones in the US?

The same reason the US props up any other militarily relevant tech, whether or not always used for that purpose. Protectionism of local industry.

See: chipmakers, telecom tech, aerospace tech, etc.
