Why doesnt granite have airholes like pumice and scoria?

Pumice and scoria are both extrusive igneous rocks that form when molten rock is ejected from a volcano. In both cases gasses trapped in the magma are released, forming bubbles. Granite, by contrast, is an intrusive rock that forms when molten rock cools deep underground without erupting from a volcano. The magma is under great pressure so that gasses cannot be released. Instead they become part of the mineral structure of the newly form rock.
