I think that's just a byproduct of the time. Dolly the sheep was in the 90s and some milestones in the human genome project. It was the Big Data of the day. The media was abuzz with articles and stories about the wonders of genetics. Intellectuals and academics with a media voice would have been into that stuff. It's not surprising they thought the technology would take off.
Designer children actually occurred on or slightly ahead of schedule, but the world collectively decided that human genetic engineering was unethical, so we aren’t doing it.

Not publicly but you know the CIA has at least tried to make super soldiers.
