Yes, it's because of the recristallisation phenomena. Slowly the
metal atoms will fill the holes.

The data isn't stored via holes in the metal, whether pressed or
burned.

The data is stored via pits, which are areas in a "non-crystalline
amorphous phase" in a layer which has a polycrystalline structure.

Irrelevant to the claim that "metal atoms will fill the holes".

Recrystallization means that the pits will slowly regain their initial
polycrystalline structure, and the record lose its data.
