Even hobbyists can put guns on drones. I can only imagine what Pentagon contractors are developing.

I imagine drones will do a lot of spying and assassination trough open windows.
Perhaps they could even do theft trough windows, if they manage to attach some robotic arm.
It will not even be safe to have closed windows because glass shatter easily.
Drones could change world in big ways. Maybe we will return to medieval architecture - our future homes might have only small windows like boltholes, metal grills and even bulletproof glass could be a default setting of any apartment.
I believe we are past the point where technology keeps making lives better.

Instead, we get bullshit apps, drones (which let's face it take the joy out of flight in addition to being a real threat to privacy and feeling safe) and more apps.

I'm skeptical how practical and cost effective small arms drones will be. Probably something we'll see eventually, but in the near future? Eh...
Robots are expensive and difficult to design. Lower class human males are a dime a dozen.
No point fixing something that isn't broke.
Plus, we've been using UAVs to bomb shit for decades, nothing horribly futuristic about it at this point.

completely feasible, an explosive armed drone is essentially just a 'redneck cruise missile'

Probably not the White House. In Iraq and Afghanistan the coalition forces used electronic countermeasures to disrupt radio controlled IEDs. So the opposing forces went to pressure plates, and other means. I'm willing to bet that high value targets have these countermeasure available.
