I mean, it's cheaper and easier than pretty much any other method if you want to cause airport disruption. I'm surprised people haven't tried this already.
But a lot safer, I guess? Relatively easy to identify who phoned in a bomb threat these days (absent a sensible person who manages to pick a public phone box uncovered by CCTV) whereas it's presumably a bit trickier to locate a drone pilot (especially since they can be ultra-mobile)
The vulnerability is huge, and not only for airports.
There's a pot of gold waiting for the right product.
This is costing millions right now.
Then, one day a plane might actually be taken down by a drone during landing or take off.
I think we are far beyond "people can be assholes" territory.
