Having an actual rollback mechanism that brings you back to a known working version is usually way faster than pushing a new version, since it needs to go through CI / Build etc again.

At my company rolling back is a matter of a minute or 2, while pushing a revert is more in the 5 to 10 minutes. Your mileage can definitely vary though.

However it requires all the shipped changes to be rollback compatible, which isn't that hard with a bit of experience.
