I see on the rpi website [1] that an RPi 5 costs 120$. That's 25% of the price of the FPV drone (500$).

Then you have to integrate that RPi to the drone, both mechanically and software-wise. From YOLO, you need to actually get into commands for the autopilot. There is work involved.

And another question is: can you order millions of RPis like this? If not, what is the cost of alternatives?

Not saying it's impossible, just saying that people tend to underestimate those questions. I know it from experience, I have seen projects fail because of that.
