You could say the same things about fingerprints but it's uncommon for a company to collect your fingerprints without you knowing.

I think that's a good point, but the stakes are quite a bit higher with your genome, since it can reveal a bunch of information about medical costs you're likely to incur, and how much shorter or longer than average you'll live.
