100% agreed... Ingenuity should still be gathering data and the occasional images down in Neretva Vallis. Weather permitting it should do that for many years to come. A severe dust storm could dramatically reduce the output from its small solar array to a point where its heaters would not have sufficient power to prevent damage to its batteries and sensitive electronics.
