The real question here is what is that "goal" ?
All we are offered is the blanket what we have does not make sense line and that is not a valid reason for CCP to make the requested change.

Agreed, no one has really identified the problem with the current system, other than the the notion that for some reason people seem to feel smaller ships ought not to have the same drone range as larger vessels.

Assuming OP isn't just after nerfing sub caps, if by some chance the fear is that smaller ships have some unintended benefit from having drone control range tied to skills rather than the ship size or hull, I'd like to point out that such an "issue" is already negated well enough by limitations in drone bay size, bandwidth, and locking ranges of said ships. The control measures you are asking for are already in place.

No. Sending drones out to 50km takes travel time and they can be destroyed. In fact anyone that sends a flight of lights at my frigate without tackling me is basically just throwing their drones away.
