It also happens on single click (possibly to make changing the text size easy), and you can also highlight by dragging and it'll work, but I still like to double click to highlight.
Seems like it was designed for touch screens with no regard for people using a mouse.
more like "we forgot to add text size options and we need to release it in 2 days" and the interim dev just slapped together a solution.
Mouse users have the luxury of dragging and selecting the texts without much effort so I don't think it's that much of an issue
I often do the double click and drag to select by word like OP does, but double tapping a touch screen is a common gesture to zoom in. I would be annoyed too.
