Theoretically but has there been any new actual development in AirDrop though? From the outside it seems like it's been the same since it was released but my only Apple device is my iPad Pro so I don't really have a use for it.

Never assume things are static. Or will remain static, just because it might seem like that from the outside.

Yes but it's been out for 8 years surely if it being closed allowed quicker development we would have seen something visible from the outside in that time.
