Generally this is done on floor replacements when they can't put the new flooring under the baseboard and don't want to remove and replace the baseboard.
It really cheapens the look. 4" baseboard with 1/4 round looks smaller and just kind of crappy. Why would they do this on all the new construction. Some of the more expensive model homes in the new Eastport area had bigger baseboard and no 1/4 round, so they were done correctly.

You answered your own question. "some of the MORE EXPENSIVE models have bigger baseboard and no 1/4 round". Those are the 2 key words in caps.
