That fact doesn't shock me, but it's not a big issue for me anymore since I bought a Pump machine a few years ago.
I've also been playing doubles recently, since at my arcade it costs the same amount as single-play, though I'm not close to Popo's peak level on that front. I can play up to 11s in the new-scale, but while I might get an A at some songs, I'll fail others in no-time. But it's SUPER FUN being able to move my body back and forth across the panels! Maybe I'll be able to clear doubles Max 300 by the end of 2019!
Yeah, once you get into doubles it's so much fun because it's so much more active than singles. That's also sort of why I prefer Pump to DDR these days; Pump singles requires more body movement than DDR because of the arrow arrangement, and the doubles are inherently no cost over singles (it's a selectable step chart on singles) and flow better (because of the arrow arrangement again). Max 300 doubles is an easier step chart than singles because it's really just a bunch of fast quarters across the pads; it's not like the eight note runs of the singles track.
