It's not hard for a nation to manufacture or order millions of drones. It's also not hard to obtain enough rounds of ammunition to shoot millions of people. It was decades if not a century ago when the primary obstacle to a nation killing millions of people ceased to be "inherent technical difficulty."

It's not hard to shoot millions of people, but it is hard to raise the army required to do so. It is hard to do so without raising suspicions. It is hard to do so without damaging infrastructure.
I rogue state, or even a non-state actor, can leverage cheap drones(assuming, of course, a solution to the power problem) to obtain a weapon of mass destruction. Drones are fundamentally different from bullets.
