It seems a "pusher" would only get so far with that approach, and their approach isn't compatible with getting to higher tiers of the game. The pusher uses a greedy algorithm to get to a local maximum.

That's true, that's why I say pushers have a lower ceiling. But it takes an awful lot of time, practice, skill and conditioning to get to higher tiers of the game, so even modestly skilled pushers can beat up on a lot of people.
