I agree with everything you said, nevertheless I try to be aware of people who might be disturbed by what I'm doing, be it drone photography or taking photos with my camera, and act accordingly. A little empathy goes a long way in these situations.
As to your point about blaming. It's not just drones that get blamed, but it's anything new. You've heard of Luddites? Well in just my lifetime, new things that have been blamed for all sorts of drastic outcomes include TVs, rock music, pot, mini skirts, contraceptives, board games, video games, cell phones, and most recently, social media. I'm sure that other UHH's can think of many other additions to this list!

Add me to the list of happy DJI Mini 2 users. Here is a link to a photo I took a few months ago

I don't know about PSE, but in general date-time stamps embedded in file names DO NOT have any effect on date-time stamps associated with the file, either directly (the ones that Windows Explorer shows you) or in the EXIF data. Note that if the display is sorted (ordered) on file name, which is a typical option, then the date-time stamp in the file name will certainly affect the sort order. But more than likely there is also an option to sort (order) the display on a date-time stamp, and that would not be affected by the file name.
If you edit the file name to change or remove the embedded date, say directly from Windows Explorer, that will not affect whatever other date-time stamps are associated with the file, other than the "date accessed". The latter would change to the date-time when you altered the name and not to whatever date and time you put into the file name.
Nice! Makes me wish I was there.

I didn't go through every last possible difference, but the difference in the metering mode in Aperture Priority likely caused the camera to expose the same scene differently.
In particular, the shutter speed in the frame that shows all the lights is 1/25, meaning the shutter was open through an AC cycle of 1/60. The shutter speed in the frame that shows some lights off was 1/160 and so that was not long enough to capture a full 1/60 cycle.
I've been using HP ink jet printers for decades. Very reliable and used by me sometimes far in excess of rated capacity. For the last 5+ years its been an 8710. Great multi-function ink jet. I don't find the ink costs to be extravagant, but you can save ink money on some of the Epson printers with refillable tanks. The 8710 is no longer in production, but its current version is the 9015e, available from Amazon for $250 (a bit above your range, I know). If you have a Capital One card you can get a $37 discount with Capital One shopping.

This version facilitates masking particular areas of your RAW shot. ... The faces of these three celebrants from the NYC Marathon yesterday, November 7, 2021, were in deep shadow prior to post.
The guy on the left has a bit of a halo above his head. Maybe his head is still overheated from running the distance?
But it is a nice feature. I've used it myself on a photo of five people in car. The ones in back were in deep shadow and the subject detection feature made it easy to brighten them.
I have been to Quito, Galapagos, Macchu Piccu, and many other places. Always with a bridge camera and inexpensive waterproof Fuji. You will really appreciate the mobility, e.g., for getting in and out of a rocking zodiac and at the higher altitudes in Quito and other places in the Andes, you don’t want to be carrying a lot of weight. The Fuji was important to have along in Galapagos, particularly when I got to play in the water with a group of seals!

We did it on trolley tracks when I was young, but same idea.
"I Was Young When I Left Home", Bob Dylan (covers by Antony + Bryce Dessner, Matthew Hornell, and Big Thief, among others).
Used the subject masking feature. It's great, easy to use, and made it really easy for me to get better exposure balance in a photo with five people where the two in the foreground were overexposed (and selected automatically as the subject by the masking feature) and the remaining three, further away from the camera were underexposed. So the mask made it extremely easy (and fast) to differentiate the post-processing for the two different areas of the photo.
