Should all holes be filled with concrete?

Post Body
My contractor only filled the blocks with concrete that have rebar inside, the others are left empty. Is this okay or should all the block holes be filled?

I'm also a highly opinionated contractor and I love this wall of text, lol.
I'm a carpenter and I've built rebar cages and formwork for quite a few retaining walls, and just worked with CMU on my first project last year.
CMU is so much easier than casting it all at once, I just put a #4 in every cell and had a horizontal #4 every 3 rows and even that felt light compared the walls I'm used to forming up.
It's concrete, you only have once shot to put the rebar in... I mostly do high end backyard renovations, so I get that a cheap owner might not want to pay for all the extra labor and materials...
