Technically, Tailwind doesn't give +2 to your speed stat. It doubles the speed stat. It is a bonus that stacks on top of stat bonuses, in the same manner that a rock pokemon in a sandstorm can have +6 to special defense and have it improve even higher. Or the ability Pure Power or the item Thick Club. It's not a standard stage buff like Agility which could be dispelled. Tailwind isn't technically dispellable. (And yet, it's not a barrier that can be broken like the other two I mentioned which could be broken by Brick Break.)

An example would be a Ninjask who lives long enough to get +6 speed boost. If he gets effected by Tailwind, his incredibly absurd speed would get DOUBLED.
