Agreed. I don't think law enforcement concerns are a factor in the decline either (else Ring doorbells wouldn't be flying off the shelves etc.)
However I doubt that angle has any relevance to their sales decline, beyond the most fringe element. As others have rightly said, the majority of people who have an interest in the information that 23andme offers have already done it or a competitor, having probably picked it up over one of the multiple Prime Days, etc. They do have revisions of their chip and improved information, but thus far they haven't marketed that for repurchases.
