If a “W” looks like this, why isn’t it called a “double-V?”

The answer lies in the advent of the printing press in the 15th century. Originally, it was a single double-v block or even two “v's” if they didn't have the less commonly used “w” block. Then, as the technology continued to progress and became more streamlined, it was replaced with a double-v block.
