Are these holes in wood floor normal?

Hello! I am trying to decide if to install some engineered wood parquet (3 layers) from Haro. They have some holes around knots like in the photos below. I guess this is how the wood was, but shouldn't they be filled in the manufacturing process? Are they normal? Do they affect the structure of the floor in the long run? Thank you!

Character - it's normal. Manufacturer's will not fill holes that are not a safety issues. If, your heels will not get caught in it, it's fine.

Would it be better to choose a parquet that is completelt sealed and doesn't have them? Do you have any experience with Haro brand? Any thoughts about it?

I have no experience with Haro. Brand is not a factor. You will find these common wood characters generally with wood. If, these characters are not appealing to you. Ask for a higher grade with better clarity. You can always omit boards that you do not find apealing.

If you do not want wood to be wood, with normal and natural characteristics, consider laminate of vinyl. Plastic reproductions will have the printed sameness, with no natural voids.

"Reproductions with sameness,without natural faults" is what powers that be want with world population. Having everyone choose floors like that is a first step in the direction.
