Depends on what the drone is heading for. If it's heading for an apartment building that is only worth a few Mill, maybe not. If the drone is heading for a $13B aircraft carrier, the economics of shooting down the drone look a lot better.
The other side can build and shoot way more $200k drones than we can $2M missiles, that's the point.
San-shiki-dan (三式弾; "Type 3 shell") was a World War II-era combined shrapnel and incendiary anti-aircraft round used by the Imperial Japanese Navy. They were supposedly referred to as Beehive rounds. The shells were intended to create a large volume of flame which attacking aircraft would have to fly through. However, U.S. pilots considered these shells to be more of a pyrotechnics display than an effective anti-aircraft weapon
When the Japanese would shoot these, because they were coming out of some of their bigger barrels, they would actually break up their own AAA fire.
