Theranos’s tech would have been unquestionably valuable (to patients, drugstores, insurers, etc) had it worked. And something like it probably could have worked. It just didn’t. Elizabeth Holmes lied to everyone about the tech, and went to extreme lengths to avoid discovery.

“Make human studies cheaper” is a great deregulation mission. “We don’t need no stinkin’ human studies” is a terrible one. (It figures that the latter is what has gotten political traction.)

As I said in another comment you could take a finger-prick sample at the same time as a venous sample in millions of patients and have a nice dataset. The question is what features you would measure in that small sample and how you would do it. Maybe not possible today?
