I wonder if this obfuscation was implemented at the behest of some government or other to make entering no-fly zones much harder. It seems overkill for something that's otherwise such a simple app.

Also, I think the 'no fly zone' stuff is entirely implemented on the drone itself and the app could be fully opensource if needed without compromising that functionality.
Even if this was the case, the contents of this list might change significantly between the time of manufacture and the time of use. The forcing of updates basically makes sure that the newest list is always written to the drone as soon as it is released.
