Why are fan convectors meant to be on Constant Temperature circuits? I originally thought that it was because they aren't suitable for lower temperatures, but I recently found that no to be true since you can use them at 55/44 flow and return temperatures (Oversized).

Radiators go on variable temperature circuits, and they can benefit from being weather compensated.

Why is it not recommended to do the same with fan convectors? (Put them on the VT)
 
So you can set the temp the fan comes on it’s not variable
