> there is a very big difference in the overall expected scale when something can only be done for personal enjoyment vs. when it can be both done for that and for commercial purposes.

That only serves as an argument for regulating large scale drone operations (commercial or not). It doesn't work as an argument for prohibiting all commercial drone operations regardless of scale.

Its not about the scale of an individual drone operation, its about the aggregate scale of all drone operations when commercial operations are allowed vs. when they are not.
