Couple things...
1) I think there's going to be a backlash and a compromise. I can't imagine making every drone currently in the USA completely useless in 18 months or three years or whatever.
2) The FAA is amazingly slow with stuff like this. What they say is going to happen is often no where near what actually happens. Remember our recreational registrations that were supposed to expire after three years? Mine says it expired last February, but the truth is everybody got an extension until Dec 2020 which is two additional years depending. Remember the registration test we hobbyists were supposed to take by mid November 2019? In May 2019, Congress gave them six months to come up with a test, and now the test requirement has been extended an additional 13 months apparently. Meanwhile they have USA manufactured 747s falling out of the sky while at the same time there is not a single incident of a drone being partially or even indirectly blamed for killing anybody, ever, anywhere, at any time, which kind of implies FAA should have different priorities. Anyway, using those examples above as a guideline, it will likely actually take them 5-10 years to implement some variation of this proposal. MHO
