IRL, I have indeed never done any of those things you mention.

How does any of that even relate to drones in a game about internet spaceships where a window is provided on the bloody screen that even says "Drones in Space" and your unwillingness to pay any attention to it?

You've been provided with the tools and the desired warning.

What you want is similar, I think, to telling the government that you want traffic lights to be arranged in a circular pattern of six lights and consist of pink, purple, orange and teal.

We don't need a warning box for every action, but even IRL there are warning signs about just exactly this sort of thing. NO LITTERING, NOT A STEP, WET FLOOR, etc.

I assure you that if we had expensive autonomous drones delivered by carriers that come and go instantly and went completely inactive without the carrier present that someone would slap a warning on the button marked GO if those drones were not recalled. If nothing else the drones themselves should be programmed to alert you that you are leaving without them. They may be somewhat inexpensive, but they aren't exactly cheap---and in a universe where rogue drones go on to build hives and try to eat people making sure you don't accidently warp despite the Drones in Space count being higher than zero would be a priority.

As for the drone interface window--- the information is there, but the window looks exactly the same if drones are in space or not, other than the life bars, which are not always visible. There are steps I can take, and if I was the owner of a semi-autonomous spaceship one of those steps would be to have exactly such a warning installed---if not the automation to automatically have idle drones recall when I hit the warp button.
