I don't know if you have much experience with multirotors, but they really are not that loud. They're louder than a tripod, obviously, but once they're 10 meters or so away they aren't going to cause a disruption.
As for risks of mechanical or operator failure, that's obviously a valid concern, but there are ways to handle that risk without a total ban.

It's pretty common for humans to wander in front of other picture takers in parks. I wager that happens a lot more per day than drones flying in from of picture takers (even before the ban).
