DJI drones are very geofenced. To the point where if you try to fly them inside an enclosure near an airport at an officially-sanctioned event like EAA Airventure, you won't be able to.

But many others are not. Drones without GPS for example cannot be geofenced.

It’s not that hard to build a drone as a hobbyist. Controls on commercially available drones are only going to deter the most casual operators.
