This assumes that applying edits is hard and expensive while finding what to edit is easy and can be done without multiyear tests. But the reality is exactly the opposite.
More likely outcome is that genetic editing companies will be paying poor people to be able to test effectiveness of therapies on their children, and instead of direct payments will use long term contracts taking percentage from the child's future income.
And if you think this business model is immoral and horrible, notice that this is the business model governments are meant to perform with taxes and social payments, they just fail miserably because of their monopoly.
