There are 6,000,000,000 people so there's a lot of demand at the right price. They get replaced every few decades too. Also, animal breeders could probably use the information to get high precision in their breeding programmes instead of luck of the draw.

So it's a matter of price.

And once the price is right, then medical treatments will probably follow, tailored to individuals. Those treatments no doubt already exist but are not targetted precisely enough so have been rejected as unusable.
