Is DJI going to consider waypoint mission planning without flying the mission first? ie. like the Litchi hub? or do they see this as a risky thing to do I wonder?

Last I heard they were happy with it as it is. Logic is that if you fly to it to set a waypoint there isn't something in between. Reduces their liability.  Technically with Litchi (and I love it) there could be a building in between waypoints and needless to say drones don't fly through them very well

5 years ago, you could do waypoint mission planning without flying the mission first with DJI WOOKONG M.

it would be nice to have this option in the DJI Go 4 app

The only thing recorded is the waypoint itself when you fly the misasion. The route you take is not recorded between waypoints. Even my little Parrot Bebop 2 can set missions on the map without wasting drone battery time)
