from me all the FPV pilots I know don't have the license, because it's very difficult to do because they are almost all the same things that a real airplane pilot needs to know,
Also I have seen FPV 6S drones at maximum speed even in densely populated areas always exceeding the legal limit of 120m if they had a license
First of all, the "licensing" is kinda tough, but I wouldn't call it "very difficult". You could learn it all in a few days.
Secondly, you don't need the "license" unless you're flying commercially. Flying as a hobby has like a page of material to read and like a 5 question test with a few rules to follow, so that's far from an excuse.
Thirdly, FPV has probably the hardest rules because you literally can't see the sky so they require you have someone with you to call stuff to you... Which no one fucking does, so FPV is by far the worst offenders.
This type of shit is why the FAA is forcing regulations across the board, including towards manufacturers, to have tracking on who's flying what and from where, which is going to start butchering the hobbyist communities. This is fucking brain dead and dangerous and people that do this shit are asking for accidents and the reason why we can't have nice things.
I'm not in the US, I don't know how FAA operates. In my socially ridiculous country it's called ENAC and the difficulty is similar to that of a car license in terms of the level of knowledge required, and it's an infinite bureaucratic stress like any non-mainstream license, only those who do it for work do it.
