Dual-wielding doesn't work with swords, because when you right click with a sword it still blocks with it
The first screenshot is holding a sword (in hotbar/dominant hand) and a torch in the other slot. When I right-click it blocks with the sword.
The seconds screenshot is the same but holding an axe, and when I right-click it lets me place the torch.
This happens both in creative and survival

Sword Blocking is still in the game, so right click is ineffective with dual wielding.

Sword in main hand is still used as "block" while there is a sword in the off-hand.
