The FAA ban on commercial use isn't just about safety.
Seems that lobbying from vested interests worried about competition is also a big factor.

It's the only explanation for the FAA allowing open recreational use by many thousands but refusing to allow commercial use by a much smaller number of operators who are going to be a lot less risky in their flying.
