Yngwie's fretboard

Hi all,
I was on another site some time ago and the subject was scallopped fretboards. Two opiniions were voiced. I was of the opinion that scallopped fretboards are easier to play because the string never touches the wood. The other person said they were harder to play and it's done to make bending easier. They didn't expand on WHY they're more difficult to play, but I gave him that they're more difficult to play in tune. I don't see why anyone would do that to a fretboard to make life more difficult. Any thoughts?
