Wouldn't the production bottlenecks be non-3D printable components like the PCBs for the Flight Controller and the Electronic Speed Control Stack? Those aren't things you can just whip together in a garage.
Injection molding is capital intensive and generally geographically concentrated (i.e. factories). It makes for easy and expensive targets.
3d printing can be distributed, and capable printers are amazingly cheap.
There's way more to it, just pointing out one "pro" for 3dp
