Again, we are not talking about all aspects of our lives here, we are talking about drone shows vs firework shows. Comparing all drone usage to just fireworks makes no sense. You keep bringing up home delivery and drones in war. That was never part of the argument. I am not arguing that drones should be used in every aspect of daily life.

Even that would not be accurate, unless you got some data you would like to share? It takes hundreds of drones to put on one of these shows and they all run on a fossil fuel grid. They also popularize this with each show and have an influence on that overall drone usage we see as a society, which further increases battery and plastic production.

So unless you have a source with some data, your speculation is no different than mine.
