Laws are already in place, and are plenty strict. People breaking existing laws does not require stricter laws it requires enforcement of existing laws.

Also keep in mind that different countries have different laws, and that many (most) youtube videos are filmed overseas.

It is also already in place, not so much at point of sale thing, both my long range larger drones are registered, and I am licensed to fly them commercially.

I also have 'toy drones' that are not registered and they are literally smaller than the palm of my hand weight 15-60grams and only have a 10-30 metre range.
