Default Disc-only rims vs. disc/v rims

I have disc-only rims (WTB) on one bike, and disc/v rims
(Bontrager) on another bike. Seemingly, tires mount on more
easily on the disc-only rims than the disc/v rims. Is this
generally the case?

Aren't disc specific rims, uh, shallower? So from where
the spokes join the rim, to the outer edge, is a
shorter distance? Which would mean that the tyres are
easier to mount.

I think Nick

Some are, some aren't. Standards? We don't need no stinking
standards!
