Good question. Here's one technical explaination:

"It is already clear that NTFS is a system which is predisposed to
fragmentation inspite of official statements. But it doesn't suffer from
it.

All internal structures are constructed in such way that fragmentation
does not hinder to find data fragments fast.

Ambiguous at best. What if there are hundreds of fragments? What if each
fragment requires 10 MS of seek time?
But it doesn't save from the physical effect of fragmentation - waste disk
heads motions."

Defragging CAN save a lot of time and the effects are a faster running
computer.

Your information is clearly wrong - FILE FRAGMENTATION, not space
fragmentation, does, measurably impact system performance.
