I don't follow the drone footage often, is this legit different than normal or just hyping?
It's partially hype - and hard to gauge. I think that many of those cars have been sitting there for months now, so this is just accumulation over time. Hopefully we see movement but that's so hard to see unless you really look to see if there's changes to that collection of cars on the test track.
 
I don't think FWD can be adjusted easily without creating a host of other issues. Mostly the issue seems to be joining the A pillar front to the B and C pillar sections. It's basically 3 different cars joined and they don't join them well. There's often a bump at the top of the B and/or C pillar indicating it's structurally shifted, not just panel misalignment. They might be able to shift some small amount but it could affect other areas.

Hopefully they've gotten good practice over the years and that creates better fixes.

This problem was the main reason we opted for an S instead of an X 5.5 years ago and it's sad that they haven't addressed it.
