Not exactly. NIMBY "carries the connotation that such residents are only opposing the development because it is close to them and that they would tolerate or support it if it were built farther away." (Wikipedia)

Whereas drones, people just don't like them at all.

NIMBY has evolved into this catchphrase that means people who don’t want what I want.

I just had a neighbour fly their drone outside my window. It's really noisy and kind of causes anxiety.

So you can call it what you want, but I don't want it near me.

I'll give them a pass this once. Maybe it's new and they just wanted to try it out. But I'm definitely going to take steps to remove it if I hear it again.

Yes, exactly. Even people that like drones don't want a drone hanging out over their back yard.

I'm also guessing a large population of drone owners first reaction to seeing someone else flying one was: They're going to lose that thing and it's going to junk up the forest.

After buying the done: Let's go fly this in the forest!

Sounds like that is a person problem, not a drone problem. That hypothetical person is a creep, drone or no drone.
