Interesting question Geoff. Hope someone in here knows the answer.

I may take the liberty of having a guess and see if I am close.

Maybe the extreme heat of a thruster gives better opposition reponse in the extreme cold of space.

Or maybe a fuel burning thruster gives more opposition blast force than say the force given by the simple release of a compressed gas.
