At all other tables, South passed over 2♥, West invited with 3♥ and East accepted with 4♥. Why would West here pass over the double?

Passing after the t.o. double is reasonable. 3 small spades looks even worse with the t.o. double, plus the expectation is that the heart suit may not split with the t.o. double on their right. Of course the hands mesh well and the trumps split and 4H comes home easily this hand. Many other layouts where game will not make.
