Help me understand holiday pay

I keep doing the math in my head and I think I’m right but surely not. My company doesn’t close for holidays but does honour stat holidays. Working on a holiday gets you double pay but I fail to see how that’s any advantage over those who aren’t scheduled to work the holiday. A) Not scheduled – you earn an extra days pay B) Scheduled at 2X pay – you earn an extra days pay and miss spending the holiday with your family! Am I missing something? And I being taken for a fool when I’m offered to work a holiday for that “double pay” am I the fool? lol Thanks and Happy Canadian Thanksgiving
