The drones in those pictures generally have a very short duration; probably
in the order of 20 to 30 minutes. I don't see them doing much remote
delivery.

First of all, the UAVs need to be autonomous (no human pilot).
Now imagine a FedEx truck driving slowly down your suburban street with six UAVs departing and returning to the rooftop flight deck (complete with autonomous parcel loading robots and recharging stations.) Jetsons!

Will they ring the doorbell and then fly away before you can get there? If not they will never replace delivery drivers.

Gonna be fun sittin' on the front porch with a broom stick. LOL
This is a solution looking for a problem and not likely to work in many places.
It is interesting to see how far these guys will go to feed the shopping addiction.

The first network news report of a 8 year old child on her bicycle or Fido accidentally getting nailed by one should be spectacular. The world news firestorm will incredible and won't stop for months. Then there will be the lawsuits....

It's to FedEx what the Segway is to personal transportation.

Or what sailplanes are to airmail :-)
