Wait a minute

2+2 is used TWICE as much as 1+1....

Because 2 is TWICE the amount of 1!!!

Dipshit, it's the other way around! You compute 1+1 twice in computing 2+2 once!

Explains the google search but not the core reason for if people are naming companies 2+2 and not 1+1 it proves OP's point that 2+2 is more ingrained in society as a euphemism for "really simple problem" I think reason is that 2+2 simply rolls off the tongue slightly better.
