Here are some differences that I could think in 5 minutes

so what, all varieties of the same species have over 99% of the same
genes
in common. They have to have virtually all of their genes in common or
they
will not crossbreed which is a good rule of thumb definition of a
species.

99.999999% similarity might mean the differencen between a disesase

wheat and one that is a total failure.
I think you should go back and study your genetics and pland breeding.

you were the one who appeared surprised to find "the GM scenario would have
