Would this not just mean that black had 'become' white and the slight advantage of moving first had swapped to the other side?
A fairer game if blacks first turn is two moves?

Strangemover is correct. The advantage for white is that it has an extra tempo to develop pieces and take the initiative. Black moving twice doesn’t even the playing field, it just gives black the tempo plus the ability to act in a coordinated manner since white has revealed part of its plan.
Do you think that the odds would even out if black moved twice his first turn?
Surprisingly, though this would seem like an obvious consideration, a Google search gave me nothing.
