They are the vanguard of new technologies and applications. And potentially a "big deal". Your opinion mirrors exactly those who commented negatively on all early aviation experiments and endeavors. Your aviation "knowledge" is limited by your inability to see past the present.
As well as those pundits who opinionated concerning spaceflight, rocketry, center-fire ammunition, telephones, super computers, PCs, etc.
Whose track record of being correct was better? The people actually pushing the envelope or the naysayers?
Just because you cannot see past the current limitations, does not mean others are also stuck in the past. And we all are the better for it. Even the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) sees this and supports it.
But Timmy boy cannot separate fact from political fiction and is locked into his "anti-green" rant because of his emotional political baggage.
