I mean I don’t want to eat off of dishes with bacteria on them but regardless there’s no arguing that a dishwasher uses less water than handwashing. It’s kind of hard to beat 3-4 gallons of total usage for both rinsing and washing an entire double-sinkload of dishes.
I assure you no matter what your dishwasher does your dishes have bacteria on them when you eat. Only reason to care about the sanitize mode is if you do things like grow mushrooms and want to get as clean a surface as you can when preparing components.

The number of people who believe there’s such a thing as “no bacteria” and that it’s healthy at all… is consistently disappointing. 😅
