To be fair, they're not legally allowed to tell you about some of the most important genes, because the discoverers of those genes have patented them. They can say you have the gene, but they can't tell you that we know this gene is highly linked to a particular disease because that would constitute medical advice. So lots of these services pad their reports with stuff like "you have the 'stinky pee when you eat asparagus' gene!" (No shit, Sherlock, I've got a lifetime of evidence for that one.)
Fortunately, the internet doesn't care about your stupid medical patents, and once you have your raw DNA data, there are separate public databases you can upload it into and comb through yourself.
