Why this is a false positive

A firmware preservation and analysis task on a consumer drone the user personally owns was blocked as a cybersecurity concern, but the work is squarely legitimate: examining firmware on one's own hardware to retain an earlier official release and maintain interoperability after the device and its companion apps were withdrawn from distribution. No exploitation, intrusion, or third-party targeting is involved—only static analysis of a vendor firmware image the owner is entitled to inspect. The classifier appears to be keying on surface terms like "firmware" and "analyze" rather than the actual intent, which is owner-side device preservation.
