Why we dont add arbitrary constant in case of integrating factor in differential equations??

Because the integrating factor is just something you're using as a tool to solve it, sure, there may be an infinite number of different choices you could pick, but you might as well pick the easiest one!
Well, you can if you want; they'll cancel out.
If your differential equation depended on which integrating factor you picked to solve it, then that would mean it wasn't a legitimate method in the first place. It's sort of like, if I walked to the store to get bananas or I drove my car to the store to get bananas. It doesn't really matter how you get there, as long as you're getting the bananas.
