"people hate support Blitzcrank but for some reason are totally okay with Thresh"

"While the tether persists, Thresh cannot attack and he will periodically tug on the tether, each time pulling the target a short distance toward himself."

"Blitzcrank extends his right hand in a line. The first enemy hit is pulled to his location."

Just a guess. Blitz can instantly displace you by ~900 units if he hits, Thresh moves you... I don't know, 500-ish, tops? More if you include Flay, but either way, the potential pull distance is lower and isn't instantaneous. I think Rocket Grab has a quicker cast, but Death Sentence has a faster projectile, so assume those cancel each other out.
