VNE vs altitude: glider specs vs rules of thumb
Agreed completely.
My primary reason for adding the VNE alert is when flying through areas of heavy sink. Flying faster in sink is of course SOP in most cases. So obviously as I fly faster through sink I will be seriously watching my airspeed, but having a secondary alert to my instrument scan while flying fast through sink, or even final glide, is an additional safety measure to help mitigate human errors.
