From a purely nerd perspective. It’s kind of cool. And has reasonable practical applications. Such as delivering supplies to remote areas or disaster sites.
Having your breakfast delivered by drone to your home is a bit ridiculous. You don’t need to be a master chef. But one should reasonably be capable of being able to prepare some breakfast without ordering it by Drone.
Hell is even driving to a coffee shop for a coffee and a muffin is too much now?
Many years ago I worked for a type of food outlet "convenience store"....you know those little shops that have basic food items, cold cases for beer and soft drinks and milk, bread products, and gas pumps outside. Going into the stores as part of my job, I once asked my boss about the high prices of the items, which were significantly higher than in a regular grocery store.
He said, "People will pay a premium for convenience." So it was moderately more convenient to stop in a small store with a small parking lot than it was to go to a LARGE store with a large parking lot, and the owners knew that people would pay for that.
I see the same thing in this video. Just about anyone can fry an egg and some bacon, toast a slice of bread, etc., but to avoid the "agony" of doing all that, this gal will pay a steeper price to have her breakfast delivered to her. It will be cold by the time it arrives, the order has a 50-50 chance of being wrong or incomplete, but all she has to do is step outside and pick it up off the ground. Oh, AND PAY MORE MONEY FOR IT than cooking her own breakfast.
Such are the times we live in. For breakfast this morning I sauteed some onion and ham, with some leftover Tater Tots (yeah, I don't throw food away), and two farm fresh eggs from a farmer friend I know, and had a sumptuous breakfast with toasted 21 grain bread with orange marmalade, and my own cold brewed coffee from the fridge heated to drinkable temperature. And I was probably finishing my warm breakfast by the time HER order was taking off on its flight.
I wonder what she will do if the system goes down? Does she even know how to cook at all?
My neighborhood has wheeled drones. They look like self-driving pink beach coolers. They are putting the doordash folks out of business. They're pretty nifty things and they work well, obeying traffic lights and such, but I hate them. They have "Coco" written on them, and one line says they are human-operated, which is an obvious lie.

Wow, just wow. She sounds like a total retard. She’s like a seal clapping!
Sounds awkward and too noisy. The dark ages of drone delivery.
That looks gross! Sorry. Not impressed.

Those are man hands baby!
