Definitely looks like they want to release so people can get them for Christmas. If they wait till January, $$$ would’ve been spent on other Christmas presents, making it less likely people have less $$$ to spend on the new drone. And they probably hope many would be sitting in the box under the Christmas tree, and when they unwrap it, it’s only a few days to Jan 2022, and they hope all the features can be released by then. Just a few days wait.
Those that have unboxed, they’ll be disappointed they’ll have to wait 2 months for these features.
