#2It's hard to tell from the video but arent they supposed to fail gracefully in a controlled descent and not drop like rocks?

These don't look super graceful, but also not like rocks.

It seems like most are doing that but some are dropping rapidly, although not in a freefall.

Yeah, kinda points to battery failure, but "our rivals haxxored us!!!" is certainly a nice cover story for the company and the local government.

Autorotation? Sorry I don’t know enough about drone aerodynamics, but it’s something seen in helicopters.

Not nearly enough energy in the rotor system of that kind of drone to manage an autorotation landing; and they lack a freewheeling system in any case.
