Double tap or double click is to open a file. If you're using it to do anything else, that's so counter intuitive.

I never said it was intuitive, only that it exists ;)

I’d argue that double-click to open a file is also not intuitive, but it is now the expected behaviour. Documents don’t have to be touched twice in real life to have them open and reveal their secrets. Plus, I do use Drag Lock, so that behaviour now does feel intuitive to me.

There’s a lot to be said for what is effectively learned behaviour in intuition.
