Split frets impede bending.
Check out the Guitorgan for the earliest example of surprisingly workable split-fret sensor technology.  The SynthAxe also used the split-fret approach.

I don't know why there was never a guitar version- steve chick (who dreamt the thing up & licensed it first to valley arts & then peavey) was a bass player himself, & maybe he thought the guitar market was already well-enough catered for. maybe the split frets approach wouldn't work so well with the closer string-spacing of a guitar. dunno.
