Phone-to-phone airdrop is slow. Unless sending video, the messages app will typically outperform the UX and delivery speed of Airdrop for the person sending the file, which is really the only one that matters.
Airdrop Discovery is slow. Notification of an incoming file is slow. File transfer startup is slow. File transfer completion is slow.
You have to wait at every step and you cannot stop watching it, lest the transfer fail.
The UI for iOS isn't very good either. It floats on top of everything. It's easy to dismiss and impossible to bring back without starting over.
It's a great idea with bad UX, but still better than nothing at all.
