“I am sorry to open your eyes about how closed is your circle of known experts.”

I got it. You have better ideas than everyone else and other peoples experience and expertise be damned. Never mind that those ideas seem not only custom designed to further your business but are diametrically opposed to what every person I know who is familiar with aviation and UAVs seems to think.

Could you tell me how large the UAV photo mapping industry is? I suspect it accounts for less than (literally) 1 in every 10,000 flight operations at best. Could you please explain how it can justified that we rewrite airlaw in order to accommodate such insignificant operations? Should not such an operation be made to conform to the current system instead?

Im cannot deny that.

"Could you tell me how large the UAV photo mapping industry is?"

In Poland we have 4 times more UAVs than our army, and we make roughly 20-100 times more flights than all local security forces + army under domestic skies. What is your market share?

Of course you could argue that it is unfair to compare the scale of operations of a person that operates a fraction of a photmapping company's UAVs with military, therefore we could agree on some other statistics, let's say confirmed kills. In this case we are roughly equal to military operators, that is, zero kills.
