Why are there tiny holes in the bottoms of jetliner windows?

There are 2 windows - the outside one, which is thick for air pressure and keeps the air inside - and the inner window with the little holes, these are usually flimsier plastic window. The inner window provides insulation from the cold air outside (the air in between the 2 windows provides insulation like a storm window). The little holes let air in and out so they do not fog up in between from changes in humidity and air pressure - while keeping it insulated since only a little cold air can leak into the cabin.

The holes are there to prevent the Jet liner from spontaneously decompressing in mid-air

So fairies can fly in and out of the plane and bring joy and happiness to all passengers, filling the air with fairy dust.
