i donno about you, but i don't use my rear brake hard enough to bend the swing arm
The tab could deform and flatten a lot more easily with a hole in it. I'm not saying it would, but it's still easy to see how it could be structurally compromised. If I levered the bolt down it wouldn't need to warp much to come out of the threading unless it is also threaded into the swingarm, which I already said would likely make it stronger than stock.
