I think it will come, but when is the question, you need to know flying with Airsense that only just over 40% of light aircraft use ADSB, so if anyone thinks that they can relax about flying VLOS or any kind of flying, then they get lured into a false sense of security. 60% of all light aircraft don’t use ADSB so you should ask yourself the question, how are you going to avoid these !
If people are flying in hotspot areas and worry what’s flying in their area a simple app. Like flight radar will give you information of all 100% craft flying in your area. But it’s unlikely that more 5% of drone users use such apps, and why ? Probably because 95% of people don’t care, because if they did then they would be already using these apps.
At the moment yes, can give you a false sense of security but you are wrong in two points.
ADS-B will be mandatory worldwide. It is in the US and will be in Europe. Other countries will obviously follow because air regulations are usually worldwide, especially when it comes to transponders.
And flight radar doesn't give you 100% accuracy at all. In fact, Flight Radar uses ABS-B but over internet, and if some connection or "server" fails, you get no information. Besides, you need Internet connection to use it and in some places we go this can be compromised.
In my ocasion I don't even use Internet connection because I have one cellphone dedicated to the drone without sim card, I don't like to use my own phone because any incoming call can be very distracting. And there are also people who have the DJI Smart Controller without any Internet connection at all, so a standalone solution for ADS-B it's the best solution for sure.
Take a look at the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1207/201 about the ADS-B mandatory in Europe, starting this year for most, if not all, aircrafts.
