When Black plays d6 it seems like a mistake, but then when Nxf7 appears Black takes advantage of the fact that he is not in check, allowing him to play Bg4, offering a trade of queens. Of course this position is in White’s favour, but it does allow Black to do some flexible development such as… b4.

(Also if White simply takes the Black queen it significantly lowers his advantage.)
