It's not "supposedly" or "by tradition."

It's right in the definitions. I don't have time for all the references, but a PC foul is a common foul. A common foul is not part of a double foul.

And, that's the reason for the case play allowing the basket when the ball has been released.

A common foul is a personal foul which is neither flagrant nor intentional nor committed against a player trying or tapping for a field goal nor a part of a double, simultaneous or multiple foul.

A player-control foul is a common foul committed by a player while he/she is in control of the ball or by an airborne shooter.

A double personal foul is a situation in which two opponents commit personal fouls against each other at approximately the same time.
