I believe bacteria have more function than to simply scavenge. They have a role when a body is living, and their role does indeed change when a body is dead. Specifically, the decomposition process.
Gif of worm getting attacked by blood cells. I'm fairly sure that bacterial can behave similarly to living tissue.
I like the hypotheses for the fact that there is much more you can do with your surroundings, but it's quite wrong to not take the microcosm into account.

To call bacteria scavengers is a gross oversimplification of their role in complex organisms.
