That is completely incorrect. Rec pilots have the same limitations, just like 400' AGL, VLOS, requiring a VO to use FPV, etc. Just because it isn't commercial doesn't mean you get carte blanche ability to do whatever you want and fly into LAX airspace at 1500' and 150 MPH. Part 107 allows pilots to operate commercially, AND to apply for waivers to get operate differently than the published rules by showing that it can be done safely.
Other notes, I was also questioning in another thread if you have a 1700' tower, and needed to inspect the top, you could legally in the US climb to 2100'. Mavics are limited to 1640'. The best solution I figured... don't use a mavic

Not all drones have the same limits, and you as the RPIC are 100% responsible for flying legally, regardless of what the drone is capable of.
