I contend these are facts:
1) Drones are subject to strict FAA control and there is no real way the trillion dollar american military is unaware.
2) This implies the relevant authorities either tolerate such threats or actually control the events themselves.
3) As a media event it's extremely successful, cheap, conflict free and an absorbing distraction.
If I were to speculate on motive I think it's the momentum Luigi Mangione was building, the public support for murdering CEOs was building rapidly and the government could not halt this with through many other means.
