Now I'm a bit wiser, had no idea what Kool-Aid was, probably doesn't mean too much to people outside of USA. Is this phrase some kind of compliment ?

As much as I like the DJI product line, and will be dropping some serious coin to buy a few of their products soon, I am very leery of their software in general. It should come as no surprise that they continue to make software/Apps that have increasing levels of restrictions and layers of controls. These policies are being developed in an environment where living under such restrictions and controls is well entrenched. Most of the users here that have issue with these additions and changes are coming from folks who don't normally live under such rule sets i.e. big brother will decide for you what you can and can not do, by whatever means it deems necessary to enforce those rules. For now, it all remains workable to one degree or another and to too many sheep out there they are fine with it. Let's hope that we don't end up with an update one day that won't even let us turn on the motors without verifying who we are, where we are, and then reading a restriction disclaimer that threatens our ownership and maybe even legally if we deviate from those factors or we are found to have violated some rule. I think it's safe to assume now, that by requiring one to "log in" to operate their aircraft it is potentially a step in that direction, and who is to say they are not already collecting data on users because of that restriction, don't be surprised if they are.
