Has science provided any explanation as to why our DNA is 10 to 1 in microbial DNA. What use does it serve? It gives you the impression that we are a species of colonized bacteria. If this is true why did they not just make all life look the same since they are viewed as mindless biochemical machines/germs etc. If are just mobile food processing machines that aid in preventing their enemies from invading our bodies

That is a bit of a vague question, so I am not sure what to answer.
There is a lot of DNA research done on microbes, e.g. sequencing of bacteria and archaea. This type of research tries to answer questions about biochemical capacities, horizontal gene transfer, pathogenicity, and evolutionary relationships.
Then, microbes are also used as tools in DNA research. Some of their enzymes are used to specifically cut or amplify DNA, and Escherichia coli is used as a tool to clone and amplify specific stretches of genes.

That they have both DNA
Bacterial DNA is a (closed) circle, those of human is lineair (straight) if you stretch it.
Bacterial DNA does not have Proteines, Human DNA has Proteines.
Bacteria have also RNA
The DNA of bacteria is easy to reach , those of human not...!!
