This isn't true at all. At least practically speaking.
I don't know anyone who has a license for their fpv drones. Technically you probably need it but there is currently zero enforcement that I know of; unless you're an idiot and fly next to an airport.
All the parts are commonly available online and mostly unregulated: Frame, motors, battery, flight controller, quad-esc, control RX, video TX, camera, propellers.
It's only the consumer photography drones that have built in geo-fencing. Most FPV drones don't even have GPS.

I know the fucking asshole that wrote those laws too. He is an ex FAA dickwad, and started a consulting company to do licensing for it. Fucking fucker wrote laws to make money off of them directly.
