Because I needed to know whether I had genetic health issues. I assume you use a smart phone. If so, you've already given up your privacy. You're like the people that scream about someone having Alexa in their house while simultaneously carrying Siri everywhere in your pocket.

What exactly is someone going to do with my DNA? Any entity that's a threat to use it for something nefarious is going to get it from me pretty easily. They could grab any number of physical items that I've touched or left my hair on etc.

Should they do a better job of protecting the data? Yes. Am I going to freak out over something that will likely not affect my life in any way? Nope.
