I'll speculate that smooth animations like the rotating spinner (right) made for larger gif images due to needing more frames. So historically the pulsing spinner (left) was preferred. You don't want the spinner itself to take very much time to load, either.
Personally I like both, and might pick one or the other as a stylistic choice.
