Engineering question- why interference?

Having worked with Hondas and now a 190E, I have to wonder what the rationale is for designing in an interference fit? It would seem to me that the resulting damage risk would be a far greater concern than any design needs in regards engine efficiency. Is it impossible to improve engine performance to the same degree with an appropriate non-interference design?
