No, any profit from the drone or parts for said drone are merely secondary. The sole purpose of this device is for data collection, that is where the value lies for Amazon/Ring.
Why anyone would voluntarily introduce this to their home is beyond me, I could only guess they're uninformed and/or don't understand the implications. Same goes for any Echo/Alexa type of product. Yes, I am fully aware that the phone I'm typing on right now does the same thing, but I can control 1 device - you can't easily do so when you have multiple spy devices spread throughout the house.
