How is it unsanitary?
Because the machine is generally more reliable at doing it in a more sanitary way. People often cut corners when doing it manually.
Because in order to sanitize, the water temperature needs to be above 60°C/140°F. It is impossible to get the water that hot when hand washing. You would burn yourself immediately.
