When I first read your first message I missed the "drowning" subject of the post.
This is a horrible incident that seems to be happening more and more.
I still stand by if you are properly prepared, then why not take a kayak out there? These people obviously did not take the correct precautions, and that is sad. But to say everyone shouldn't is a very big ask. The Plea should be be prepared for what you do. End of season/beginning of the season kayaking is some of my favorite things to do, but again I always have wet suit on, dry suit if needed and a PFD. It's all about preparation.
My prayers go out for this person's family and friends. I have also lost a couple people that I have known through the years from kayak incidents, but most of them could have been avoided with the right gear on.
