That assumes there's someone out to get you specifically. That's like saying there's no point in having 2FA or strong passwords, because the FSB, the FBI and Mossad can get in anyway. Having my DNA because you vacuumed it up off the subway floor is significantly less useful to anyone without it being explicitly tied to me.
