The same argument is deployed against gun control too and it's still only partially true. If the system is simple enough every flight controller manufacturer will eventually implement it and the bar to run one without a beacon gets much higher. It means catching anyone without it is suddenly in trouble. Finally it reduces the pool of potential miscreants to people intentionally setting out to be troublesome and raises some technical hurdles presuming the system is deeply integrated.
Speed limits don't stop bad actors either but that doesn't me we get rid of them.

I think the analogy would be drone use laws are equivalent to speeding limits. proposed drone RF ID is equivalent to vehicle registration + real time monitoring of vehicle location and speed.
