Well, how about this then:
with color-switching pieces it is not possible to lose a tempo, to bring the opponent in zugzwang in an end-game. Of course there will also be color-bound pieces that suffer from the same problem, because the are meta-color switching. But compared to other non-color-bound pieces it is a weakness.
