So I opened a maps website with 360 panoramic images and saw views like this:

Sunrise, shadows and fog. Just some aerostat took a photo and it’s beautiful. But I very rarely see aerial photos! There are so many landscape photographers, but they all shoot from their perspective. So why isn’t aerial photography as popular?

    Where I am you require extra licences to take commercial photos, some locations need special permissions and many are off limits.

    Add that drones don’t have cameras comparable to professional gear until you get into the much more expensive tiers and it takes it from something a hobbiestt can dabble in, to something with a high level of investment.
