Something relevant is Earnshaw's theorem that basically guarantees instability in a system of point charges. You need some stabilizing component somewhere in the system. Ever wonder why passive magnetic bearings aren't really a thing? This is why. You need something like an electromagnetic control system, a physical point of contact, or something more exotic like a superconductor to stabilize the unstable system.

The pulling approach has 2 big strengths: safety and wear.
Safety: If the levitation fails, you have a train with no wheels sliding along a rail, applying break force pretty much at every point touching the rail. The sideways guides will still work to keep the rail on track.
Wear: if the levitation fails, you are rubbing steel against steel. The brittle and expensive magnets are pulled away from the contact point, and are way less likely to break.
That push configuration looks like it's just begging to derail at the slightest amount of sideways force, with nothing to keep it going along the rail.
Yes, option 1 is unstable, in the control system sense. Option 2 is also unstable, but with less control measures to counteract the instability, or to deal with the consequences of failing to stabilize. Option 1 seems built with instability in mind. Option 2 seems like it's been included to talk about the physics/engineering, not as a fully developed transport solution.

As a non engineer, I'm gratified by the positive comments by obviously knowledgeable people.
Maglev is still the safest - can't derail,
Still the cheapest to operate and maintain,
Still the fastest, cruising at 300 mph,
Still the quietiest,
No moving parts except the doors; and maybe the sink faucets.
Chicago to New York - 3 hours
Chicago to Seattle - 7 hours
Total automation possible

The solution is to mostly use pulling force with push force being there for more stability
