Because frankly we do not give a shit about the condition of the drone and it almost certainly shouldn’t have been there. If there’s a car parked in the middle of a high speed road at night with no lights, that will be reported as the stationary car’s fault too when someone hits it

The drone was relatively stationary. The plane hit the drone.
