I think it's dishonest, and I'm really disappointed, I will be cancelling my platinum and keeping my prestige given this--the platinum I loved for it's ability to cover my purchases, but other cards now have better coverage.
In my opinion the drone is a piece of photographic equipment, but such is life.

Posting this in case anyone in the future is looking at purchasing a drone they'll have this data point.
Keep in mind, CSR has similar restrictions/terms. I'm not sure what the Chase claims administrator will determine.
