The arguments boil down to "we're all fucked so letting 23&me fuck us more is no big deal"
> ...this is only a problem because of our disastrous insurance-based, for-profit healthcare system in the U.S.
That is the reality for the subjects of the USA. So it is a problem

No. I take active measures against sneaky surveillance (my browsers cannot be tracked as far as I can tell) and I use my real name lots of places. I am in control. If my siblings, parents, children submit "their" private data to these evil data horders, I am not in control
Deleting your, and yours, data from 23&me will be closing the stable door, I am unconvinced that these sorts of people will actually delete anything (they will remove it from your view and control) but it has performative value
