If you were injection molding something, everything you said would be true. But adding holes often takes more time and uses more material because you are interrupting the infill which is fast and low volume, with walls and odd shapes that require the printer to slow down and use more material. The only reason to introduce holes is to make the part more compliant, to add fasteners, or for aesthetic reasons.
