I am sure you know. But on a typical day, 15 knots above V2 will give you a better climb gradient than at V2. Coming back to V2 at this stage will give you the benefit of a short 'zoom' climb, but overall V2+15 would still give you a better average gradient. The FD applies the same logic and it makes sense.
