Lightbulb CRJ 200 / Wind shear warning - why follow F/D not "Eye brows"?

I`m an aviation enthusiast - and I have a question regarding "Wind shear alerts" and the corresponding G/A after such a warning.

Our company OM-A says we shall follow the F/D guidance.

However, if the G/A button is hit - the "eye brows" on the PFD appear.

Why wouldn`t I target the "eye brows" to get out of the situation asap - with max AoA and TOGA thrust I will get a bigger "safety cushion" underneath way faster than by following the F/D pitch...

Can anyone explain? Did I catch something wrong?

Thks!
