>But it would probably makes economic sense.
Only if you don't price in all the externalities: loss of delivery jobs, environmental cost of the drones, cost of drones hitting people, cars, buildings and powerlines etc.

Like if you switch from a low quality butcher to a higher quality butcher, you are not imposing a cost on the lower quality butcher. You can not like it as a consequence of course, whether it is an externality or not.
