I agree, I wish backpack manufacturers would just skip the coating. It would save weight and cost, and greatly extend the lifespan. I have multiple really nice packs that I can’t use due to coating grossness, despite being 100% functional otherwise.

I sewed a couple of duffel bags out of nylon and got no fraying at all on the raw edges as I was cutting and sewing. That said, I'm guessing mostly it looks good to people who don't know better.
