So, I have a brand new H720 Bafang motor with pronounced gear noise. All of the bikes with this motor sound the same. Why wouldn't the factory add the proper grease if it reduces noise so much?
Just trying to see if there are any downsides before popping it open.

It wouldn't. If it's a universal flaw why bother ? You're doomed.
If your gears are noisy 'it [might] reduces noise so much' temporarily.
Inherent poor design and bad gears meshing will not change.
A Creosote based lube might really help, but the noise is gears running on edges - singing 'help me, help me'.
Sharp surfaces cut right through grease. They want to be flat.
Low Powered motor's gears can take that. 100Nm and up not so much, but once they know riders work with it, avoid sudden high torque input, whatever.
The M620 now has a new steel gear-set - more teeth. That's how you make 'quieter'.
Not corn-combine grease.
