It also means they are easier to get at for cleaning. Plus, on small fridges, you KNOW there aren't any cooling pipes in the door.

I can't think of a situation where that woud occur on the door. The metal on fridges are surppisingly thin. Some sealant, sheetmetal and insulation will cover any abandoned holes. Or you can use a big ass bolt like this...
