When people describe DNA as PII, I don't think they imagine being involuntarily cloned (yet..), I think they're imagining heritable conditions becoming public information through data leaks.

People have a right to privacy from imprecise yet correct information about themselves. Someone wouldn't want to explain an abusive parent to a prospective employer, but they could see a strong tendency to, schizophrenia, with DNA data leaks.
