Yesterday I took a few pics in vertical mode and when I flew to new location it was very slow. I thought I bumped a button. I quick scanned the manual and couldn't find anything. After a Google search I found the speed is limited in this mode. I get the gimbal limitations due to physical design but why is thespeed limited?
 
I think its there to protect the gimbal since its vertical movement is limited in vertical mode; excessive speed would add considerable aie pressure against its vertical end stops.

Is it to protect it or because it has limited movement in vertical mode and so the drone angle for fast flights is limited to keep the camera at the same tilt level?

Both, and allowing the extended vertical mode comes with a warning to that effect in the app.
