Has there been any evidence this was pushed by lobbyists? If you look at what's happening in Ukraine It's pretty much a given that the US defense sector is looking at ways to improve the US small drone manufacturing capabilites, and have less potentially hostile drones flying over their own territory.

I work in the drone industry, and this is so very obvious that I don't know where I would start describing it.
Yes, it was pushed by lobbyists. Every single US drone company has been pushing for a DJI ban for years.
There are a lot of coincidences[1] and since congress can legally insider trade it would not surprise me if some involved have stock in some of these companies.
