As I understand it, full sequencing is a _lot_ more expensive. 23 and me currently shows the genotyping is like $100 while sequencing is $1000. It’s probably too expensive and time consuming for them to sequence everybody’s samples unless they pay for it.

Only a couple years ago full sequencing was closer to $10,000

Everyone knew price would drop in time, but, assuming you’re correct, it’s amazing to hear that’s happening

499 euro was the cheapest that popped up on google https://www.dantelabs.com/products/whole-genome-sequencing
Sequencing a whole genome at 30x has been around 1k for the last 10 years at least.
