You have a point!  When building my '74 for racing I had the entire body
smoothed out and primered ready for final paint, including the doors.

I went to pick up one of the doors (gutted of window stuff) and said
"WTF?"  All that extra weight is NOT a good thing for racing.  The door
bars are almost impossible to completely remove without damaging the
door.  I had to replace my beautiful, pristine doors with a couple of
badly bent ones from an AH junkyard car.  One still "tin cans" to this
day.

Moral of this story-- you can reverse the weight damage.  Also, proves
that AHs are actually good for something in providing donor parts for
MGs.  KIDDING!! Just kidding!!! ;-))))))))))
