If a duel lance was actually effective, why not have a lance that splits into multiple prongs?Still don't understand this attitude.

The attitude where if you add "magic" then there are no limits to the cool things you can do. But without that secret word, you're not allowed.If a duel lance was actually effective, why not have a lance that splits into multiple prongs?
It's not magic though, is it? It's a non-magical lance. So we can assume it behaves like a real world lance*. So, holding two lances (perfectly possible) isn't done because it make the weapon LESS affective, just as a lance with multiple points is less effective than a lance with one.The attitude where if you add "magic" then there are no limits to the cool things you can do.

Right.It's not magic though, is it? It's a non-magical lance.
Sure it is. Magic does what you would expect it to, but using two lances isn’t magic, and is possible, but would be less effective than using one (halves the impact pressure).
The Fey, The Myth, THE LEGEND!
No it does not. You have to attack with a light weapon to use the bonus attack of the dual wielding feat.
Two lances, or two longswords, or two flails is not a thing any more (at least when it comes to making a bonus action attack).
The difference is, fighting with two lances is something that could be done in the real world, but wasn’t because it was objectively bad, whereas a gnome riding an owlbear makes perfect sense in a world where gnomes and owlbears exist.I don't know that healing yourself with a short rest is considered magic, but I will rephrase.
Dual wielding lances is no more silly than a Gnome riding on an Owlbear.
My point is we are willing to suspend disbelief for all sorts of things, but wielding 2 lances is what is what we are deciding to draw the line on?
The dual welder feat removes the “light” requirement.It was never a thing in5e. You always needed light weapons
