How can humans share 60% of our genes with bananas?

I understand how we can share 96% of our genes with nonhuman primates. And I understand that we share about 99.8-9% of our genes with other people. But how can share 60% of our genes with a banana, which seems to be the same amount we share with fruit flies?

One way to think about it: how much does a smart phone have in common with a refrigerator?  Basically nothing, right, they're totally different in size and purpose.  But think about it.

Both contain steel, plastics, and glass.  Both have circuit boards.  Those circuit boards have fiberglass, copper, gold, and semiconductor chips that contain silicon and plastic.

Remember, DNA describes *everything*, both the big obvious shape stuff you can see, and the basic chemical structures you can't.  The DNA sequences that humans share with bananas include instructions on how to build a cell membrane, how to create the amino acids that form proteins, how to assemble those proteins, how to build DNA itself, how to replicate and maintain it, etc.
