Because they aren't talking about just any-old drones, it's about how they've become so cheap. So saying "well, drone technology is old so it's funny to see them calling it the future!" shows you didn't read the article.

Youre overanalyzing my comment, I saw someone talk about drones being the weapon of the future in the 90s and my brain went "lets talk about semi-obscure WW2 shit. I dont care about shit getting cheaper, I want to talk about obscure shit.

Fun fact early lever action rifles date as far back as the American revolution but due toa ship burning most of the prototypes were destroyed.
