Cause uh...that would certainly be one way to deal with the personnel issues
Maybe they can use it as part of training data for some computer-vision AI replacement to drone operators.
This is kinda what I was thinking. But I would imagine they have quite a bit of real piloted drone footage to train from already. They could take that footage from drone attacks that went poorly and model those situations. Then when thousands of people play that scenario, they can use their gameplay to improve the drone automation.
