Remember that SAO Kirito was using a single sword because he didn't want to stand out, considering he didn't know how to unlock dual wield, which means that he would use it if it wasn't for that issue. On that point, he keeps using both swords, which speak of itself.
Here, he -bought- his gear, and still have enough money to have high end equipment for an army as far as Sakuya implied with her reaction. Therefore, Kazuto had the opportunity to buy a DW set (heck, he could even buy the same sword twice then), yet he -didn't do that-.
Basically, there was absolutely no plan to have a dual wield set, and that despite there is no requirement for that.
It is a simple contradiction, really: there is no Dual Wield skill in ALO. By definition, it means anyone can do that. Since ALO Kirito could pull that just like that (and he certainly had NO time to test it alone, unlike in SAO), it means there is no special requirement for that, except perhaps a certain amount of stats.
Due to how Kazuto went for Leefa's sword, it simply means he knew it was feasible from the get go, confirming Dual Wield is a common and possible setup for anyone. Yet, despite having the resource and possibility to go DW right from the get go, he -didn't-.
