Why is all of your DNA in all somatic cells?

Somatic cells are all the cells in an organism's body except for the gametes. Certain somatic cells may have different functions in an organism due to differences in gene expression; which simply mean that somatic cells only use certain parts of the DNA. Therefore, all somatic cells have the same DNA. When these cells develop, they will specialize into certain types of cells depending on which genes will turn "on."
