 If DJI had not implemented their NFZ (No Fly Zone), this would never have happened in more ways than one. Firstly, it is that red tape that got many people frustrated with DJI. But even more amusing is the fact that it is the very process of updating the NFZ database that was exploited to get root access to the aircraft.  If DJI had not implemented their NFZ (No Fly Zone), this would never have happened in more ways than one.

 I think it is fair to say that this whole community started as a result of a lack of trust in DJI, as a direct result of the red tape they have introduced. Yes, we all want safety. But this is a little too far. Owners have purchased aircraft with certain capabilities. DJI made changes which caused licensed pilots who have permission to fly in certain areas need to jump through hoops that were not required when they purchased their aircraft. Particularly outside the USA, this process of sending email messages and waiting causes overhead and additional cost to DJI pilots. This caused a lack of trust in DJI, which spurred on these efforts. In the future, I think the end conclusion will be a 100% open source replacement for everything that is currently provided by DJI in the form of software/firmware.  I think it is fair to say that this whole community started as a result of a lack of trust in DJI, as a direct result of the red tape they have introduced.
