Drones are cheap and no security is defending against explosives falling on people.
The amount of weight a drone can carry is pretty limited. And the low tech easily made at home explosives are fairly heavy.

Russia uses armoured ground drones that look like mini tanks with armor resistant to bullets. They are used as explosive suicide drones. While there are large quadcopters for payload applications, this is the easiest delivery method.
