I think that Bungie is just trying to be funny. :)
But, I do recall that during a Podcast they said that duel-wielding took away from the core gameplay triangle. The triangle was Shooting, beating, and throwing grenades. Duel-wielding took away beat downs and grenade throwing. That might be one reason why they said it wasn't a good idea.
I don't think that dual wielding took away from the core game play at all. There is plenty of melees and nades in every game that I play. I think that dual wielding adds to the variety of game play so that nading and meleeing isn't the only thing that people are doing. Plus, it's not like you can't melee or grenade at all while dual wielding. You can just pick up your secondary weapon after meleeing and if you want to throw a nade, all you have to do is hit Y to drop your secondary. Also, if they thought that it detracted from the game so much, why did they take so long to do BR starts? Remember back when the game was first released and there was this huge demand for BR starts, but Bungie resisted it for the longest time.
