Presumably for the same reason you could display values way over the stat limits on your character sheet. The function that calculates the DPS for display isn't capped, the function that actually determines your speed in-world is.

Read the stickies at the top of the tkm board, in one of them a dev CLEARLY states that tapes remain capped at 25, this false information could cause the loss of an awefull amount of credits for some people. THEY ARE CAPPED AT 25!

yes there are.

Where is theDPS display? Is this the modified DPS parameter in the weapon examine window?

That's correct.
I'm showing that the fastest you can go is: 187
Template: Master Brawler, Master Pike, Master Sword, 0040 TK, 0400 Fencer, 0004 Combat Prowess
That will give you +45 Pike speed + 92 General Melee Speed.
Then you can add +25 Pike Speed and +25 General Melee Speed from tapes (+25 is the cap, I've tested myself, I have 3, yes, 3 +25 attachments for pike speed, all 3 worked individually, but stack them, and nothing over +25 total works)
Doctor Buff is a General Speed to everything combat related, this includes warmup and cooldowns. Best buff is +40 which is a 40% increase in your speed.

Cool down timers unaffected, if skills are on different timers then you can spam every second like say impale and meleeassault from brawler. I hit every 2 seconds on same skill just like I do with 150 speed or 100 speed. Now certain skills have a lot longer delay which was still unaffected, over all I wasted tons of tapes hope I can resell =)
This is the most telling post of all, and a fact few seem to understand.
It is the reason DPS as a stat is absolutely meaningless.
The only stat that matters on new weapons is average total damage, the min + max / 2.
It's sad so few understand that
