There is profit motive behind that.

Problem: Jeans are too durable, they last too long, and the customer doesn't buy new ones often enough

Solution: Make holes in the jeans fashionable, the jeans are already worn out, and will have to be replaced at least 4 times as many times as those with no holes.

Fashion is all about selling new clothes as quickly and often as possible, and it's all about greed and profit.

I read an article a long time ago that stated the fashion industry was invented by the textile manufacturing companies. It was a device to sell more cloth and increase their profits.
