Because that's the current behavior of `TeX-insert-dollar' :-)

The attached patch finally removes `TeX-math-close-double-dollar'.  I
changed the behavior of `TeX-insert-dollar' in the texmathp case: if
point is right between a couple of dollars and `TeX-math-electric' is
non-nil (whatever its value), another couple of dollars is inserted
and point is placed between them.  Now I agree that your alternative
is preferable ;-)
