no, it is not double counting, because the expense of option grant is compensation the moment it is given

If it is a long term option grant, that can't be exercised for 5 to 10 years then it is not an expense at the moment it is given. It is an expense for the next 5-10 years. We depreciate capital expenses over time, option compensation should be expensed over time if it is a long term option grant. In fact, one of the bills under consideration proposes to expense the cost of the grant over the duration of the window in which it is granted.
