I'm fairly confident that the strikeout algorithm is in the thermostat's software, so you're not going to change it. You could hot-wire at the thermostat output to keep it running, but then you'd lose temperature control. Another option would be to find another thermostat, but then you'd lose the gas heat/electric heat integration. You could do it with an additional thermostat, moving the electric heat control wire over to it.
I'm annoyed by the thermostat's insistence of running the gas heat when the spread between the current temp and desired temp gets too large. Sometimes I don't want the dang gas heat running and want to wait for the heat pump to do the job. The workaround of course is to chase the temp setting up as the heat pump runs, a pain in the neck.
As to "why", it's just somebody's bad idea of how it should work.
