ECamS: Oh dear. What happened to KISS. In your case of RA Alive etc. I used to try and find out the reason for the change. No luck, no-one knew. That added to the irritation. I used to fly for airlines that had either "positive rate" or "positive climb" after takeoff. I used to teach what was required, but emphasised that if you forgot under stress which it was then say something sensible so you didn't forget to raise the gear. That was the priority not the mouth music.
Many of todays operational problems can be traced back to management philosophies and dictated training emphasis. If true piloting skills and in-depth a/c knowledge was the culture and training focus IMHO many of recent incidents/accidents would not have happened. And it all started with management, not pilots.
