Except for the fact they both fly I don't see the similarities between PPL rated pilots and recreational drone flight at all. Recreational drone pilots do not fly in what most people consider controlled air traffic. A drone flight plan shouldn't take more than 15 minutes: check Skyvector for TFRs and NOTAMs, check Airmap for restricted airspace, send a LAANC to the local ATC, check local weather, and finally check the flight area for obstructions. That is literally it. Most recreational drones don't have the range to go out of sight.
If anything if we are using cars as a metaphor. Drones are like dirtbikes. They aren't allowed on public roads. But can be freely driven on private property and BLM territories.

That is literally it. That sure is a lot of military-sounding acronyms which I haven't the slightest idea what they stand for to end that with, "that's literally it". If I was to guess, you have experience in piloting airplanes, and flying a drone would be in comparison, a lot simpler, but it doesn't sound simple.
