Historically, Easyjet’s checked-luggage policy was 20kg per person
Each passenger who pays for a hold bag can take up to 20kg of luggage.
This weight allowance applies to the passenger rather than to the bag
so purchasing extra bags is possible but will not increase the weight
allowance.
Accessing a link to the previous version of the page now redirects to the current policy which no longer mentions a per person or total weight limit.
I believe the confusion arises from your friends’ knowledge of Easyjet’s old luggage policy. Your booking clearly states that the 20kg applies per bag.
Edit: addressing an item in comments, note that you are permitted to pool your luggage allowance on EasyJet (from above policy link):
Can I pool my hold luggage allowance with other passengers on my
booking?
You can pool your total luggage weight allowance – across
items and across customers – but an individual item cannot weigh more
than 32 kg.So, each passenger with two items of 20kg hold luggage has a total
weight allowance of 40kg. They could pool their luggage allowance by
bringing one bag weighing 23kg and one bag weighing 17kg.OR
Two passengers on the same booking, each with one 20kg item of hold
luggage, have a total luggage allowance of 40kg. So they could pool
their combined luggage allowance by bringing one bag weighing 22kg and
one bag weighing 18kg.
