That's my thought too, for the wear. I saw M'liss Rae Hawley (she has her own line of fabric and has written many books) do a trunk show and she said she always did bindings 3" bc it takes just a tiny bit more bite on the quilt. It made sense to me and that's why I use 3" for binding. The binding get the most wear on a quilt.
