I recall, in the movie the rebel unmodified guy was the hero! It kind of put the whole lot of GMO humans and the totalitarian government in a bad light as the normie outsmarted them at every turn.
If it's predictive programming, then of course you want the small guy/good guy to win to reassure normies all will be well: If such a thing were ever to happen for real, we expect such and such to happen next as well followed by happy ending (predictive, based on what's stored in our unconscious about a very similar story line). Movies also promotes hero culture to make them complacent waiting for their hero to save the day (like QAnon waits for Trump).
