The material replicates inside of the bacteria, making more bacterioohage, then destroying the bacteria. The kindergarten machines are similar, they most likely inject material into the earth, then this creates gems, destroying the bacteria, in this case, earth. This is why Garnet, Pearl and Rose revolted, because the completion of the kindergarten would destroy the earth, killing all of humanity. I agree completely, if they were to simply do this in gem quarries here and there that'd be fine but most likely the GDA wanted to use as much Earth as possible which would have most likely caused massive geological damage to it causing all sorts of phenomena from quakes to volcanoes. Their continued interest in Earth is most likely because its unique atmospheric conditions due to being in a habitable zone having a MUCH bigger variety of gems than non-habitable planets. Basically it comes down to resources, we have the buyers pick of them and the GDA would rather steal than pay full price.
