I too do not prefer to taste antifreeze. The vast majority of us do not drink the water that is in our tanks or the water where we are hooked up to. How ever in the spring when it comes time to de-winterize you still have it in all the lines anyway. And as far as flushing the system, you have to do that anyway (or should be) and should be adding bleach to sanitize the tank and lines. If one was concerned about the antifreeze in the tank, as soon as you are done winterizing you could flush out the small amount of it the tank immediately. The difference in techniques would end up being the same after the tank was flushed, and one benefit would be that the line that is between the tank and the pump would be protected with antifreeze (not so using the winterizing port.
Many of you have newer units that do not have gravity fill ports to fill your tanks (mine does) in that case I can certainly understand why it would be counter productive to get the antifreeze into the fresh water tank.
