I genuinely don't see what point I could have missed, they said drones will be used for something, but drones are already in use for that very thing.

Pedantically, yes, they should've mentioned drones have already been used.

More to the point, the vast majority of their comment highlights the bar is getting lower and lower for what drones will be used for.
