'Since the FAA and other aviation authorities state their wishes onto the drone communities, DJI can easily appease these authorities by decreasing transmitter power in intervals undercover. It just makes the most sense. '
The FAA has no jurisdiction over the radio spectrum, that is the job of the FCC. If the transmitter is complying with the relevant FCC regulations, there is no issue. There are thousands of RC systems out there in use for model aircraft, boats and cars, why would they be permitted to use full transmitter power and not quadcopters?
The FAA is also probably not interested in the range of the aircraft either, they are more interested in keeping them out of the way of other aircraft. On the contrary, your argument does not make sense.
' I can see DJI easily reducing transmission power in both the drones and transmiters discreetly to have less liability when it comes to who to blame for encouraging or supporting long range drone use for a few enthusiasts or those who do so for entertainment.'
There is no liability on the part of DJI at all, it is only the operator who can be held responsible. As long as DJI comply with redio regulations, they are fine. And it would require the FCC to make changes to those regulations and then everyone would have to comply, every form of radio remote control system.
