Many are just deconvolutions of microbiomes.

Not that I'm against it as I'm very much into metagenomics, but many of these genome assemblies can barely qualify as draft genomes.

Also yet another important point here is the strain level resolution, which the depth of sequencing had afforded us. For eg, if one were to look at staph or any other human pathogen, you'll find at the bare minimum more than tens of those.
