Now, granted, I'm in the privileged position of being able to ask my parents questions, but outside of the use-case for people who are genuinely unable to ask about their history it seems like a gimmick to me

As one of the “use-cases”, being an adoptee in the “no, you don’t get to see your original birth certificate, how dare you ask” situation, pls don’t be so heckin’ cavalier w/ your take. This *gimmick* is as close as I can get, and it means the world to me.

Yes, I agree with that. That's why it's mostly not country based in the ancestry they give you, but mainly population based. It can throw up the odd thing, such as you may have an allele only found in Scandinavia, but you are right in saying that it doesn't give you much info.

So you pay a company a lot of money because you don’t know your ancestry. And thus having no idea whether what they tell you is made up or not
