Velcro is actually substantially more annoying to launder because it can clings to fabric.

If you wear pajamas to bed, imagine all button holes on the pajamas were replaced by Velcro. Now imagine the sound and comfort of the Velcro as you roll over at night.

Velcro is ok but snaps that rent too strong/tight are just as easy. Velcro can “misalign” if it’s too long.
