agreed

Now here is the confusion.

I am under the understanding that simply doubling the grit is sufficient to hone a razor.

If this is not true then why is my edge polished without the intermediate step?

That is correct--Yes. but?
you can do so and spend example 1 hour.
if you use middle grit hones they will speed up precess.?
you will reduce time example to 30 minutes. i hope this answer's both of your questions.
second part why your blade polished you did more laps on the polishing stone. that is all. if you used middle grit stones instead of 100 example you will make 50 laps. etc.
hope this help.
