I expected it to sanitize as well as soap does, via mechanical removal. That it didn't do that well enough suggest to me, either that the bacteria are just too well lodged in fabrics, or that an extra rinse cycle (or two) are required, or that the washer was over-loaded.

The only fabric I've ever used which doesn't do this is merino, but it's hard to find merino clothes other than base layer. Merino is so antimicrobial that if you hang dry merino training clothes that are soaked in sweat they will smell fresh.
