It’s like when you say something is full. Double full doesn’t mean anything, but there’s still a difference between full of marbles and full of sand depending what you’re trying to deduce. There’s functional applications for this comparison. We could theoretically say there’s twice as much sand than marbles in “full” if were interested in “counting”.
The same way we have this idea of full, we have the idea of infinity which can affect certain mathematics. Full doesn’t tell you the size of the container, it’s a concept. A bucket twice as large is still full, so there are different kinds of full like we have different kinds of infinity.
I get that, but it’s kinda the same as saying “I dare you!” ; “I dare you to infinity!” ; “nuh uh, I dare you to double infinity!”
Sure it’s more theoretically, but not really functionally more.

Please show me a functional infinity
Right, an asymptote I guess, in use, but not a number.
It’s been quite some time since I did pre-calc, but I remember there being equations where it was relevant that one infinity was bigger than another.
When talking about infinity, basically everything is theoretical
