This is extremely niche. Compared to an helicopter you certainly get lower price, but you can't transport multiple medical personnel, cannot transport the victim, cannot transport heavy medical equipment.

I am not saying this does not have a niche, but it can only become mainstream for the transport of multimillionaires

You are thinking of the early models that are in development right now. As battery technology progresses, those things will only get more powerful. And it's not niche at all. Think of places like Greece, Scotland or the Philippines with all the islands. Providing public services to those could get radically cheaper.
