The thing about withdrawing applications is that most people don’t withdraw them at all, not even after May 1st.
Hence, colleges cannot rely on that or use that for anything meaningful, except when withdrawn before the decision date itself.
The primary marker colleges use is enrollment numbers, which is also more reliable after mid March when most decisions are out, and majority of students begin placing their deposits.
Net of it is, withdrawing applications hardly helps applicants who are deferred/waitlisted. We did it primarily to keep our list manageable. My DD tells me that in her class even ED applicants haven’t withdrawn their applications, let alone EA/RD ones, and don’t have plans to withdraw them at all.
