It is not about being cinematic, you have plenty of people in martial arts (and SCA) learning and improving cinematic techniques (which are fine in demonstrations or tournaments but would get you killed in real life combat), it is about being plausible. An archer who can shot two arrows at once, against two different targets, more skillfully than they can one arrow against one target is not only implausible, it is Looney Tunes level of silly. The same applies to any form of dual weapon combat, and that level of silliness does not fit without most GURPS campaigns.
