That's true, but there is no reason that you need to bake it in the machine if the shape is important to you. You can use the machine to do all the mixing and then put the dough into a loaf pan for the final rise and baking. That way you can get it whatever shape you'd like.
We have a heart-shaped bread pan that we've used a few times for special occasions. We've also made pizza dough, challah bread that we've braided and other stuff that we've shaped ourselves or put in another pan to bake.
