No, actually your first sentence's logic doesn't hold up as it isn't a fair comparison at all. You can already order custom oligos and synthesized genes for relatively cheap. The chip idea would just reduce the cost more.

Digging into personal information on people can be done for relatively cheap. I’m not sure it’s a good thing to make it cheaper.

But, in the concrete case in question (gene synthesising technology), what are those potencial dangers?
