More than just your cpu, gpu, and psu generate heat in a desktop, but they’re the only units that normally have giant heat sinks with dedicated fans for cooling them.
If there was a hole in the center, but the main producer of heat was still covered, that’d be a pretty bad design for heat dissipation.

Lots of phones use the aluminum body as a heat sink, so it kind of is how it works.

a desktop isn’t a flat phone with no airflow… the whole phone is the heatsink.
