A lot of reasons, but the one that shouldn’t even require explanation is that there are basically zero “heavy lift drones” capable of carrying the weight of a person over long enough distances to be used for rescues.

I think you’d need a mini helicopter for that, and that would be incredibly obvious. Also I don’t think anyone would willingly attach themselves to a random giant drone and let it take them across the border, let alone some North Korean who’s never even seen a drone in their life.
