While I do think the cost reduction was unnecessary, the name never had anything to do with it's cost.
It's not called Double Down because it cost two cartridges. It's called Double Down because, when you look at the animation, it is literally your character jumping in the air and doing two downward slashes.
Similar applies to Lionheart. You might only be pressing 3 GCDs, but the animation shows multiple slashing attacks for each of them.
It's also a bit of a pun/reference. The attack is similar to one used by Seifer after he learns the truth of Ultimecia, but he refuses it and continues to engage in his wrong decisions, thus "doubling down".
Ideal state of tanks: You cannot hurt me in any way that matters
Ideal state of DPS: I can kill you and leave no forensic evidence
Ideal state of healers: What did you say? Honey, hold my flower.
