Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus
If you want a canonical explanation, normal human beings probably can't handle the kick back of two SMGs or at least one SMG in a single hand. So that would eliminate the SMG from the gual wield list. Same goes for the spiker and mauler. That and the mauler and spiker are probably too big to be dual wielded by normal humans. That goes for the plasma rifle too. Have you seen marines carry those things? The plasma rifle is huge.
As for the pistol, that thing is way to powerful to be allowed to be dual wielded. Sure it may be just campaign, but if you could dual wield those pistols it would practically eliminate any reason you want to use any other weapon.
So then we're only left with the plasma pistol.... Yeah, theres no reason you'd really want to dual wield just plasma pistols.
I wouldn't say dual wielding is really much of a loss. Especially in a campaign only game with just a horde esque mode to complement it.
