Could I solicit your comments? 😁
To me the choice between “sucking” and “blowing” is a no-brainer.

I don’t know what Revotec’s reasons are for their preference.

I suppose there will be some “spillage” of air with a “blower”. But then it can equally well be argued that, with a “sucker”, the fan will draw in some air that has come from the engine compartment without having passed through the radiator.

A major plus of a blower: ease of access. It just doesn’t make sense to me to waste all that space you have in front of the radiator.

If the “sucker” is indeed better at moving air through the radiator I cannot think that the difference it makes can be anything more than marginal.
