Penalize is a big word here.. Google attribute to every website a quota named "crawl budget".
It is about the number of pages to crawl per a timeframe (a day for simplifying), so if you tire its bot crawling low value / light content pages, it will difficultly discover the pages that are good and leverage value to users..
Another angle : Every page that i push to Google should have a ranking goal..Is it unique ? does it contain valuable content ? Accessible by one unique URL ? It targets what keyword(s)..?
This could be a basic framework for deciding what type of pages should i index in my website.

Thanks a lot!
Un-indexing the empty profiles had never occurred to me, but that makes sense. And I can look for other things along these lines.
The idea is that Google will penalize the whole domain as low value because these pages are not relevant search results?
