I'm with you ...
I don't particularly care for machine binding, for the same reason as you have already mentioned.

The Flange Binding method does look good when completed, but likewise, you do end up with a row of stitching on the back side. A good match of the thread colour to the backing fabric colour as well as potentially using a finer thread could help with the camouflage.

However .... there is no reason why you could not do a regular hand finished binding on a baby quilt, if that is your preferred method.
