I agree to eliminate the bonus (one and one) and only keep the double-bonus.

Actually, there is no "double" bonus.

On a 1+1, the 2nd shot is the bonus for making the first.

For 2 shot fouls, the 2nd shot is an "automatic" bonus.

If there were such a thing double bonus, the FTs would be a 1+1+1. Make the first, get a second, make the second, get a third.
There is a double-bonus, two-shots. It is verbiage used to define teams 10th foul for each half of a bonus.

And the definition posted by you is correct, "On a 1+1, the 2nd shot is the bonus for making the first".

In actuality, if your definition of "double bonus" were true, you would be shooting 2 bonus' situations of 1+1 twice and not 1+1+1.

Okay, for now on use, "bonus, 2-shots."

Are you happy now?
