The fully articulated hub design is susceptable to ground resonance
when landing. By increasing the rotor speed to just under the speed
of sound, that is, so nothing goes faster than the speed of sound even
at max forward velocity, the risk of ground resonance when landing is
significantly reduced. There are other advantages to speeding up a
fully articulated hub, but not flying apart when you land is a big
one.

You clearly don't know anything about ground resonance. It has little or
nothing to do with the blade tip Mach number.
