He did optimize himself with what he could get (so high end equipment with his money, instead of treasure hunting), which makes you wonder why the backup weapon idea wasn't there to begin with.
It isn't a if: he simply doesn't have them. When he checked his character, only his stats are reflecting SAO Kirito. However, skills and items were garbled, so it means they simply don't exist, which include dual wielding.
As such, it is a regular playstyle, not a "special ability that allows one to use 2 weapons at once".
He only used dual wield because the bonus skill effect of gram doesn't activate after reverting back into corporeal for a brief delay, hence the second sword can perform a block/ parry. Kirito didn't really focus on stats or gear in ALF because he was too tunnel on saving Asuna and given his deadline, no time for getting real gear, only highest he can find in npc vendors.
