I'd say there are two reasons. 1, I get more control since my hands are closer to the bar, this probably due to a lack of practice, but for me I always considered it easier that way. 2, you only want to touch the corner part of the bar, so perhaps around 60-70 degrees would be feasible. When I've played pieces using these techniques I drag both ways as needed but I definitely think it's easier to start with your hands close to the bars.

Also do this on a vibraphone its AMAZNIG, was lucky enough to get to play it as a part of a song!
The overtones are amazing, especially in the beginning!
This was very helpful for you to go down the marimba! Thank you!
Towards the end it sounds like a hearing test at the doctors.
Wow, it kind of reminds me of the sound of a Glass Armonica!
Why upbow at an angle when you can downbow at a 90 degrees angle? Just wondering
