Angry are you a robot or a pilot

Had a positioning flight the other day where initial rate of climb was 5200 fpm which I thought was great!
I think it was NOT great. It was stupid.
It may have been 5200'/min or 7200'/min becuse you were either ferry flight or short sector or underwight anyhow. SO why use ALL UP engine power for that TOW ? Have you ever heard for Flex T/O thrust or power ?
