They do not have all that data.

They do.
Between agreements with most of those companies and their collecting of DNA when someone is arrested and charged with certain level crimes, they 100% have a database.
Some DNA companies automatically share with the government, some will do so if they just request it, and they are all obligated to comply with search warrants/request set abide by the laws to request said data. Anything not in their database they can get access to almost immediately.
So in essence they do have all that data BUT
it’s not just the government directly people should worry about, companies like Ancestry and 23andMe share your data with other companies, such as P&G Beauty, Pepto-Bismol, The University of Chicago, and GlaxoSmithKline automatically.
Almost everyone of those companies has been hacked at some point as well and huge files of genetic data are available for sale on the dark web, and China is actively working to collect as much genetic data on United States citizens as they can.
