Actually this isn't quite true. Some manufacturers have responded to consumer complaints and have started adding the full-tub feature back. This is one of the reasons why Speed Queen is at the top of my list.
From an article from The Washington Post, dated Jan 29, 2020: "The classic (Speed Queen)
TC5 Washer “fills the tub full of water like what Grandma’s machine would do.”

The website of my local Speed Queen dealer lists 4 different models, 3 of which have as a top feature "Full Tub Wash & Rinse fills the entire tub with water to achieve maximum cleanliness". The 4th model has this as an optional feature.
