You can see it in action and yes the excuse was pretty weak. That said, this is at the stage that quad drones were in about 15-20 years ago. It might not be useful now but you can see the direction that are looking at.
Also having a rotational image corrected on a modern SOC is fairly trivial on the GPU, I could see having a specific ASIC on board would be able to do it even easier. The most difficult thing would be having to compensate for a rolling shutter or doing away with that all together.
I said it in a response further up, the technology of making the drone doesn’t have to be perfect it just needs to add enough burden to the opposition that it becomes another vector to correct for. And those that don’t do that will potentially end up being hit.
