I mean the idea of the weight limit is that at some weight the drone just does not pose as much of a public safety issue. I don't wee why the regulators should change the weight limit unless there's evidence that 249g is still too much of a risk.
Incentivizing companies to hit a weight limit is a good thing. If the drone is the size of a songbird and the loudness of a bumblebee, I'm not sure I care if they're unregulated.
Not mention if the legal limit is 250g then it's incredibly likely whatever testing or studies the FAA looked at (I'm being generous here by assuming they didn't pull a number out of thin air) showed the danger spiked well above that.
They removed the forward facing obstacle avoidance system. It might not hurt as bad when it drops on your head, but it seems a lot more likely to fly into your face with the props still spinning.
