No Double Here?

XG said this was a no double. I thought it was a thin double, but a double nonetheless. I'm -40, well-connected, have a back checker escaped, and his 8 point is completely gone. Meanwhile, I have some spares ready to make a point in my own board, and options to bring my back checkers around or make a point in his outfield. Why is XG against a double here?
White has his 5 point and a weaker anchor on the 3 point. I'm guessing the issue here is that my inner board is so weak and white has too many options to make advanced anchors? Not sure.
