I agree with you and Holmgren. Leaving injured players aside, as a pro-to-be you should desire an opportunity to strut your stuff. And having players work in an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar teammates is what coaches naturally want, given that it simulates some NFL scenarios and is more genuine than a choreographed pro day.

I understand The Great Sammy Baugh's logic regarding risking huge sums of money, but as it is the QB scene at the combine is lame.

So far I've read the following QB's will not throw at the combine.

Bradford
Clausen
McCoy
Tebow
LeFevour

Arguably the best QB's in the draft.

Now this means that Robinson, Kafka, and Pikes draft stocks will increase just by them participating in passing drills, as long as they don't really screw their throws.

I'm surprised that Tebow isn't throwing, he seems like he's on a mission to prove to scouts that he can play QB at the pro level.

He's still working on his mechanics/new throwing motion/timing, etc

Both he and his parents are missionaries, so I'm not surprised.
