Why isn’t all soap antibacterial?

If all soap isn’t antibacterial, what is the purpose of the natural/cute soaps we use to wash our hands? And do the natural soaps actually clean bacteria?

There’s not much point in soap being anti-bacterial. When you use soap to wash your hands, the main action of the soap is supposed to be that it washes all the things you don’t want on your hands away down the drain. Not just dirt and such, but also the bacteria on your hands.

If you are washing your hands properly to begin with, the majority of the bacteria on your hands are being flushed away with the water anyway, and the soap being anti-bacterial is fairly useless overkill.
