Good point. The FAA has long made strong distinctions between private (amateur/sport) and commercial operations, and I would expect that the risk/reward balance is at the heart of their initial rationale. That said, does their current stance on commercial vs. amateur drones stem from reasoning, institutional momentum, or a desire to get a lot of drone-relating rule-making resolved before opening the door to commercial drone operations? ps - if ever we get to having flying cars, we will have a similar set of discussions.
