I do see a few major obstacles with this.
I almost feel like a bully, you're so hyped about this ;-)

There are many players wanting use this for delivery, probably too many to name. But there is only a limited amount of space to fly in, that would mean that if you have a brilliant product to deliver in the future, you may not get a license because all the space is already taken.
(Even though Amazon is looking into this, I don't really see benefits for them. They just load up a truck with 100 packages, it seems a lot cheaper than using a drone. Only for remote location I could see that be beneficial for them.)
There are regions where you are not allowed to fly a drone. Most notably over populated areas in Europe, or near an airport. So, an exception must be made for these drones, giving amateur drone pilots a chance to just fly there as well, who would notice one more drone? Which would mean we need some way to monitor that entire airspace for renegade drones.
They edited it out of this video, but drones are terribly noisy. Just imagine 20 or 30 drones flying over your head around 18:00, delivering meals. People would very quickly start to complain and file restrictions for their part of the space.
Not to mention the adverse effect it would have on nature, wildlife and birds in that area.

Or, you could just shoot them out of the sky ;-)

Someone developed a "drone ambulance", where a defibrillator would be delivered to a casualty, and via a comlink a doctor would help you resuscitate (wow, had to look that one up ;-)) the patient.
That is something I think has a chance of being really useful.

While this seems a nice development, I think that's mostly for the companies themselves. For consumers I see no real benefit.
