Is it correct that characters can switch between weapon sets for free at any time?

This currently imposes a few unthematic consequences.

1. Never any reason not to start or end a turn with a melee weapon for opportunity attack possibilities
2. Never any reason not to start or end a turn with a shield for AC bonuses
3. Always able to move for melee commitment to picking off others at range with no opportunity cost

Now, I note that #2 isn't currently a thing because shield AC seems to apply no matter what you have equipped, but I can only assume this is a bug of some sort?

Would a character with the dual weapon feat recieve both an AC bonus and a shield bonus when having two weapons equipped and a shield in their second weapon set?
