Note the $2,000 bill includes the DNA extraction machinery and the sequencer itself. The sequencers that Nebula et al use are probably over 1 million $.

If you want to go even cheaper and depending of what you want, you can go for an exome instead of a WGS. And a lot of people are sequencing when they really want genotyping.

But I would not be surprised if someone is already getting $100 WGS.
