Why are there no full size quadcopters?

Quadcopters are not more stable than regular helicopters, they are less stable. In fact, they’re so unstable, they need to be fitted with electronic stabilization because no human can realistically fly one without it. (I design such stabilization systems and autopilots for small multirotors).

Why do drones have 4 propellers?

Four propellers
Just like a car having four tires, having four points of thrust and balance is the most economical way to produce a drone. This allows you to balance the craft in several ways. First, an even number of props spinning cw and ccw to prevent the craft from spinning.
