This is not correct. Or at least, it should not be AFAIK.

I actually just tried it on an account I own, and it does not send the email to both addresses, only to the recovery email address.

If that is really happening to you, that sounds like a bug to me.

Is the person that hacked the account just sitting there waiting for emails to come in and hopefully can click the "Cancel Request" before you can reset the password?

If you make a habit of hacking Gmail accounts, it's probably not hard to make a bot that does it for you.
