There's really no point to doing that. The drones which actually get used for attacks in places like Ukraine are not fancy off-the-shelf drones. They're very simple DIY systems made from basic electronic components. So, impossible to regulate.

Yeah, was surprised to learn that the "military grade" drones are actually simpler than the commercial/hobbyist ones, e.g. no GPS.

Of course it makes sense if you see them as "disposable material".

Also GNSS is probably not all that useful anywhere near the front, widely jammed.
A benefit is, I think, that that immediately makes any drone in the sky fair game. Makes for faster decisions when in doubt.
