It's not that it is uncomfortable to land with YD engaged, it's just that when straightening the nose after a crab approach, it's easy to disengage the YD when using the rudders, the disengagement causes a strong enough lateral movement which is easily corrected by the pilot, however it is sensed in the cabin and more so the further back pax are seated...so a little uncomfortable, whereas if you disengage earlier, whilst crabbing in, a smoother correction of the nose just before touchdown is possible.
