What do you think it should say instead?
An immediate 1NT is 15-18, slightly wider than a 1NT opener as per standard; if you think your hand is stronger, then double and 2NT over 2
♦ shows 19-21.. double then 3NT over 2
♦ has been programmed as 22-25..
From its perspective you're simply making an impossible bid.. when a human makes a bid that isn't defined at all, it falls back to the lowest level rules of thinking game requires a combined 25 points, and slam requires 33. Your partner has shown 0 points and could easily have a yarborough, so if you still want to play in game and not slam opposite that, then that means your impossible bid must show...
