not my field so I can't judge how useful it is but assuming this data can be used for drug discovery and their ToS limiting to non-commercial use only. Does DeepMind plan on selling this data to pharmaceutical companies?

Individual SNP predictions are not useful for drug discovery. Pharma might license this, but mainly out of fear of missing out.

My understanding is that they already are, via Isomorphic Labs

It's a bigger deal for diagnostics than for drug development.

Hopefully. Tired, as a shareholder, to see the giveaways that deepmind is doing.
