Unless the belief that they sound and feel different is irrational.

I can't entertain  the idea of buying a bass with blocks but without binding. It aught to be illegal.

In that case, my irrational prejudice is that I don't know if the fretboard inserts make a difference, but I believe that they do, without any evidence either way.

Guitars and basses with mother of pearl fret markers that fill the whole space between two frets.

 

That's because the mother of pearl sections will sound and feel very different to wooden fretboard sections, and ensure that the tone between the positions is unbalanced. 

 

Only if you have a grip of steel and press the strings right down to the fretboard.
