"I prefer intermediate spins before rinsing. I want all the soap and muck out of my clothes."
Rinsing laundry is a process of dilution. Extraction is what pulls remaining detergent/soap/muck or whatever out of textiles.
One can rinse laundry several times then extract, or extract after each rinse. Either way when properly done will result in a good wash.
Not extracting after wash means there is going to be carry over of chemicals, muck, etc.. into subsequent rinses. At some point much of that is diluted out of fabric and rest is pulled out via extraction.
This explains why one can rinse laundry several times until water is "clear". Then upon extraction (by whatever method) water is has chemical residue and otherwise not totally clear. However if well rinsed once extraction is carried on for a bit water is indeed clear telling there is nil to low amounts of residue.
Many industrial/commercial laundries still run wash cycles that do not extract after main wash or subsequent rinses. A final extraction is all there is same as in old days. Only difference it machine itself handles the job instead of things having to be moved to separate extractor.
Tunnel/batch washing machines (which are rapidly taking over industrial/commercial laundries) cannot extract between cycles. Yet they are able to turn out wash that rivals or even surpasses traditional washers.
