> you need to have dedicated grinders dialled in for both. Nobody outside of Italy bothers with that.

Huh? Most cafe's I see (Australia) the grinding is separate from the dispensing, and it is a single shot per pull. It's a big world out there mate, might be more of an isolated cultural thing than you realize or my neck of the woods is special. Either way, likely varies.

This is just not how espresso works.

You can dose the same grind into a double basket and a single basket and you will never get the same coffee out of both.

Maybe Australia is special but in Europe, the UK and America, except for Italy (and apparently some surrounding places) nobody is using single shot baskets.

This is jusg a well known fact in the coffee industry.
