Improving the Le Fong

This post has a deliberately provocative title, because the Le Fong opening is so deeply analysed and solid that many people believe it can not be further improved. This is my attempt to persuade them otherwise, in relation to strategy after the critical Bxg7 move.

In the database, white has a 61% win rate after 3. Bh6?! in 1600 and 1800 bullet... what is going on?!
I've never seen this before. Whats wrong with taking the bishop right away? Is it about suffocating their pieces with further central pawn expansion?

EDIT: Oh its supposed to punish people who just premove in bullet
