I think this is great and will encourage the industry to do the same to compete. Of course, not aircraft will have this and it doesn't replace maintaining LOS but more situational awareness the better. Eventually UAVs and manned aircraft need to share the same immediate airspace and this is a step in that direction.
Realistically, most will probably install ADS-B out transponders. But there will be areas where pilots fly (Alaska, Pacific Southwest desert areas) where it won't be uncommon for airplanes to be missing ADS-B out.
