The irony is that they didn't force people to give their DNA (except if you were arrested) but instead people willingly gave it and even paid for it.
If you think Bill Gates is going to implant a chip in your brain via a COVID vaccine you are mistaken. Once such tech exists (if ever) people will be lining up in queues and pay a lot of money to get it implanted.
Have they ever encouraged people to submit DNA samples in order to identify criminal relatives? I could see this going over well with the law-and-order part of the population.

This is a great call, these folks aren't devious or clever enough to understand that they can just ask...

Even more devious would be "submit DNA samples and we'll give you immunity from paternity lawsuits", since concerns over that might inhibit some.

Nobody who needs protection from a paternity lawsuit would fall for it.
