Multi-Wielding is both expensive and hard to use. It's not the limitless supply of power that you all take it for. There are 10 inventory slots, 4 of which are taken by vital survival tools. You could take them off your hotbar, but that would be extremely inconvenient and would hurt you more than it helps, you'd be extremely vulnerable while going through your inventory, sorting out your tools.

And it's extremely hard to use. On IOS alone, you cant switch weapon while moving, and we have no mouse to know where we're aiming, multi-wielders have to be both devastatingly accurate, have lightning fast reflexes, and their movement is limited to almost a complete close. I often miss 2 of my three shots unless I'm at very close range. On the computer, you have it slightly easier. You can see exactly where your shooting, and you can switch weapon while moving. Drawback? You cant move. At all.

You have two hands, one of which is for aiming the weapon, the other switches between weapons. Unless you want to completely rebind your keyboard to a really awkward setting, neither hand can move you. This makes it extremely easy to dodge, especially from a long range. From a short range, taking advantage of the low armour given by the woven vest is also very easy, your opponent is stationary.

Also, hardly anyone abuses Multi-Wielding. It was different with the jump nerf and seatglitching, they spoilt the game for everyone. I've never seen anyone else ever use Multi-Wield in combat, although occasionally I see it being put to use for mining, or other repetitive tasks. We have much, much bigger issues than Multi-Wield, and since everyone has a really strong opinion on it, this wont go anywhere but a mild flame war.
