Why is d6 is preferred to Nc6 after 1.e4 e5 2. Qh5?

Okay, look:

How come d6 is better according to chess.com analysis? Nc6 develops a piece, I don't see what d6 does (besides protecting the pawn)

It doesn’t seem like it prefers d6. The lines the chess.com analysis is giving me are Nc6 and Qe7

Well, that's odd, must be some sort of fluke then.

youre giving it no time to think

whats 32*46 quick you have 5 seconds

chess.com game review is very short sighted, this is well known, it isnt deep enough its only meant for a quick glance at roughly how well you did and a rudimentary blunder check

the optimal move is obviously g6
