Mechanically, my Wizard can either dual wield and get an extra attack with his bonus action in case he ever needs it, or not do that. I can choose to be slightly better, or choose not to be slightly better. There's no interesting choice to be made.

And realistically, why wouldn't I just use my main hand weapon for the bonus action while wielding only one weapon (with whatever penalties that apply)? It's not programmed like that, but if anything, dual-wielding should be more cumbersome for my spellcaster, not less.

I know it makes very little difference in the end, but it's such a baffling design decision.
