True, but it is more difficult and they have to want the images a lot worse. :-)
Drones have done for this sort of surveillance what Smart Phone cameras have done for photography. You “always” have a good camera with you so it’s much easier to take awesome pictures.

But most aircraft short of low-income hovering helicopters aren’t being used for direct high-resolution observation.
Drones, in current colloquial terms, are primarily for that purpose.
