If anything the tubes get stronger from having internal routing done. Although you drill holes in the tube it is normal practice to reinforce that same hole quite a bit. Plus most commonly you add a smaller tube for the cable to run through. As this is fixed in both end it help stiffen that tube a bit as well.
