> Why would you buy something that itself has a carbon footprint (manufacturing, distribution)

This is a silly argument. It's impossible to live in the modern world without generating carbon. No one sane says we should stop entirely. People just want to reduce the impact to manageable levels. A single toy drone obviously has a tiny carbon footprint.

Agreed.

It would probably be fine to cause up to (maybe more?) than current global CO2 emissions if it then caused a global reduction over the next decade.

Their objection is like objecting to cutting fire-breaks to save a forest.
