If humans and chimpanzees share roughly 97% of their DNA with each other then why do human siblings share only 50% of its DNA?

Siblings share 99,5% of all nuclear DNA, I think.
Even different races of homo sapiens share more than 99% DNA, if interbreeding is possible.

You share 50% of your genes with your siblings but 97% of those genes in all people, siblings or not, are the exact (like literally the exact) same as chimpanzees. Does that make sense? Same nucleotide base pairs. I guess a lot of DNA does basically nothing, "junk DNA". It's like super complicated.

Inheritance and similarity are measured differently. Similarity means they're looking at how many genes are similar. Inheritance is discussing what percentage of your was directly copied from who.
