Iv read sweat is naturally cleansing of bacteria, and it only smells because of the interaction with the bacteria. So why do we treat it as such a “gross” thing? I mean you should probably wipe down fluid off stuff because you don’t want it to get on you, but it seems more of a comfort thing than a hygene thing.

It’s a comfort and hygiene thing – sweat, like all moist environments, provides a good environment for bacteria to grown on surfaces/clothing etc. It’s not in any way “antibacterial”, it’s just water with some salt, some amino acids and whatever oils your skin added to it, all of which can be food source for microorganisms.
