Drone / smartphone SLAM? I expected it years ago but have not yet seen it implemented in any kind of scale.

  Smartphone emphasize efficiency. Most of them are computer vision that Convolution-based algorithms is powerful enough to be the general algorithm that any asic vendors can target. And that is also a highly mature and established market. They often have similar architecture in terms of the execution workflow, but added NN-flavored instruction units and instructions. That drives down cost and makes them easier to program with. Drone, they are more energy limited than smartphone, as the propulsion system consumes more energy. Inference throughput seems a secondary problem to drones.
