(Why GIB doesn't raise clubs is even worse.)

I believe GIB adds 100 milliseconds to these fake double negatives to let a GIB partner a heads up that it wasn't really a double negative. Unfortunately humans can't detect this UI so they are in the dark. GIB apparently learned about using pauses to show 2 different types of hands from run of the mill club players.

I think that 2N is a much better bid

I don’t think you should get in the 2♣ bidder’s way. There is a reason that 2NT is known as the “slam killer”.

I have always heard that in the context of 2NT openings

However, if you play Kokish, you can use this bid to show that you want to play in a minor opposite balanced 20-21+. This is the most likely by far of partner’s hand types.

That is actually almost how we play it, minors 5-5. But the basic reasoning was to assign it to something rare and unlikely to lead to NT.
