Just for clarification - my comparison was between the business models of an ISP and a DNA company - having a primary product sold to the consumer which is then used to collect and accumulate data, and subsequently making money by selling this data. It was not my intention to “rate” or value them against each other or to trivialize one. This business model is well-known and should not be unexpected from a company in today’s data-driven economy.

The words after “company” in your final sentence are the problem.
