> Moreover, just two decades later, anyone could get their genome sequenced for pocket change by companies like 23andMe, founded in 2006.

Sequencing your genome is still relatively expensive, Probably around $15k. 23andme does not sequence your genome. They look at specific regions looking for specific markers. This doesn't invalidate your point of how great progress has been, though.
