I'm kinda curious whether people are genuinely shocked by this. (or am I doing the typical mind thing)
My guess is the general public is probably genuinely shocked and surprised. Myself however barely considers the few sets of 23andme data I've got on myself and close family. It was interesting for the first month or so after I got the data and tried running it through promethease, and then I realized we need quite a bit more data (personally and statistically) for anything very interesting (for me) to come out of it.
Most people seem to be looking for ancestry stuff, or hardcore medical revelations. Both of which are quite complicated in most cases, and analysis of which will probably fall short without manual intervention (or AI algorithms which don't exist yet, because the data sampling and quality is still pretty low for the average datasets).
I think on the one hand, it's good for the biotech industry to gain some income from the normal research/medical-only revenue streams, but on the other also a little deceptive marketing.
