It is not part of what the command does. It is part of normal Emacs
display, whereby, if point moves outside the displayed portion of the
buffer, Emacs brings point into view by (by default) centering point
in the window. Here "by default" means "unless you customized one of
the scroll-* variables".
The window centering is described in "Textual Scrolling" and in the
Emacs manual under "Auto Scrolling".
