There are still two layers of fabric, on front and back, just as if it were an attached binding. Am I missing something?

I agree with what you are saying & asking! I have sewn most of my life, then started quilting quite a few years ago, & have had no problem with this method. My batting is even in my binding this way, so it is through several layers, & wears, & holds great! I don't do quilt shows, I quilt for me, so this works for me. No quilt police at my house, lol!....
