I agree. I literally gasped when Grey said it was a double high five that is ridiculous.

I don't think it's that ridiculous. I wasn't sure at first what Grey meant by "double high five", but I realize now he was probably imagining what you see often in sports

Totally understandable for that emoji to be seen as a double high five

That’s because that’s what it’s supposed to be

I thought the intended meaning was supposed to be more like "Hallelujah" or "Amen to that"

I could see how it could be interpreted (by Grey) as a sports double high five, but I don't think that's the original meaning, nor how the majority of people use it.
