How come for personal hygiene we are taught to use soap and hot water to kill/wash away germs, but when it comes to food we only rinse with cold water for a few seconds?

It depends on the situation. Hot and even warm water can affect certain fruit and vegetables texture and color.
But firstly there are more proper ways of washing produce like using specialty soaps and soaking.
Also some produce you are just washing any dirt and it will be cooked in high temperature.
