I'm not knowledgeable about all makes, but some of this is intended to reduce the load on internal transmission parts when you go from neutral back to drive (if your vehicle speed is well above zero).

Also more engine speed to the converter means more trans pump speed means more lube flow - in some cases important to lubing various parts internal to the auto trans.

This is all made possible by the full authority powertrain electronic controls.
