The rules actually says, "Catches or causes the ball to come to rest in one or both hands." It does not say the dribble only ends when the ball is under the hands or hands. The term is used to describe when a dribble ends as most people know what a "gather" of the ball means. Saying the dribble ends can mean different things to different people.
But when most players are trying to go to the basket and take a shot, they typically grab the ball with both hands.

You understand that dribble can end with one hand on bottom top etc. that's what gather means to you. But to most people when they hear gather they think two hands required. Dribble ends covers everything.
