I'm curious as to why you own a fan oven but don't want to use the fan
most of the time. I thought the top elements in ovens like yours was
for grilling.

I've got a Neff double oven and you don't get the option not to use the
fan. Only the grille element in the top oven doesn't run it.

Can't see why you'd not want the fan?

SWMBO here insists on running the oven at the same temperature
regardless of whether the fan is on. Ergo I suggested that she never use
the fan.

The fan is intended to make the whole oven have the same temperature,
otherwise there are cold and hot spots. Better explain to Ergo and
SWMBO that you have been a very silly boy :-)

It also cooks food faster - thus a lower temperature can be used.

Perhaps she reduces the cooking time but doesn't tell you? In any case,
the fan makes it warm up quicker if she waits for such things.

Our Bosch has a setting for using an extra KW to heat it up faster.

And, fan oven temperatures required for most recipes are generally 10
degrees less than for a conventional oven.

My recollection is that it's typically a 20 deg difference.

Not really (I assume that 'it' is the oven) more like it allows the
food to heat up faster or else need about 20 deg less temperature for
the same cooking time.

Women aren't very good cooks anyway. They don't apply logic.
