&SAVEDLISTS& is usually a directory file. Depending on your OS, putting a lot of files in a directory can be very innefficient. Records in &HOLD& can be very large, so disk space could be a good argument there. On the other hand, deleting saved lists can be problematic: are you sure no one wants that list anymore? Are you sure that that list you identified as being "old" and are about to delete hasn't just been re-written by a program reusing the name? I don't think the list verbs do a lot with locking.
