That is an incorrect assumption.

Create a new project, add a command button to Form1, and add the
following sub:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim S As String

S = ""
End Sub

Copy the "S=" line so that there are 100 of them. Compile to
Project1.exe

Then replace all literal zero-length strings with either vbNullString
or with your own constant. Compile to Project2.exe.

The file size of Project1.exe and Project2.exe is different by 4K.

Using literal zero-length strings does induce bloat into your program,
and the decision is truly more than merely one of personal preference.
