There are only so many registered commercial RPA companies out there - and they aren't many. Yet there is a lot of imagery from camera drones that lands on the net which was taken for commercial purposes at short notice , a lot of it clearly where no drone may fly, evident from the photo - and flown by none of those legal operators.
Maybe the regulators should make it easier for those "rogue fliers" to comply - especially for low risk operations such as those done with DJI Mavic/Air type drones?
Oh, I see - competition wouldn't be so good for the bigger guys.
