I'm no mason, but I'd assume to lighten the weight and permit faster baking in the kiln. Perhaps when they are laid, the mortar would fill in a bit, therefore increasing the grip.

so the morter will fill the holes and make a better bond between the bricks

So the inside of the brick can be filled with concrete. Also it saves money on brick making material.

Strength. Provides a better bond with the morter as it will fill the holes and make it stronger.

I believe the ones without holes are called pavers like for driveways or streets.

for the mortar to fill in to make a sturdier wall, foundation or what ever, also, rebar could be run through it or wiring conduit.
