Biotech still has a lot of basic science kinds of questions in it too. There's a lot about biology we seem to not really know in large populations. A ton of things we need to know more about before we even talk about commercial applications still.

OTOH, the pharma industry has large revenues selling commercially viable therapeutics that seem to have dramatically increased human lifespan and increased quality of life. Even without fully understanding biology there is a lot that can and has been done.
