Why are bendy-buses not double-decker?

Incidentally, i am not the first person to think of this:

The EU document linked to at the end contains a definition of the term
'double-decker articulated bus or coach', which suggests that these things
either exist or are likely to exist (or that EU lawmakers have too much
time on their hands).

Because Bendy-Buses can accommodate more people

Hang on - how does a single-decker bendy accommodate more people than a
double-decker bendy? I'd have thought the double-decker version would
accomodate roughly twice as many!

plus allow for faster loading with 3 doors instead of 1 for Entry/1 for
Exit.

Why couldn't a double-decker bendy have three doors, like a single-decker?

And why didn't TfL get the four-door Citaro G?
