Please give it up. You aren't going to convince each other that the other side is wrong. If you feel that dueling style and two weapon fighting are completely incompatible and you haven't been dissuaded by anything in this article, you are unlikely to be dissuaded by anything short of Sage advice or errata. Those trying to convince them otherwise are therefore wasting their time. If you feel that they are conditionally compatible and haven't been dissuaded so far, then your not changing your mind short of SA or errata. Those trying to convince you are wasting your time. If you somehow are harboring the idea that they are always compatible, congratulations on remaining silent and please reread the wording for each area.
Finally, I'm probably wasting my time with this PSA. I'm guessing I'll have to find a way to turn off the topic to have it disappear from my notifications/ recent activity. Anyone know how?
Two weapon fighting and dueling are both covered under fighting style and I quote;
Fighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
I think you can either play RAW or disregard this rule and make up your own.

That doesn't really have anything to do with this. You can't take the same fighting style option more than once, but you can take separate ones. Irrelevant, because the conversation here is mainly about using the Dueling fighting style alongside the Two-Weapon Fighting bonus action available to all characters; not the Two-Weapon Fighting fighting style.
So I haven't read every post but I just wanna say I just read last night that you can only pull out one weapon out of it's sheath as a freebie but any more than one per turn requires an interact with object as an action. You must technically unsheathed both weapons before the start of combat to use both weapons unless you have the feat Duel Wielder. The feat explicitly lets you do this.
You master fighting with two weapons, gaining the following benefits:
You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand.
You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one handed melee weapons you are wielding aren’t light.
You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.
Good luck all and hope that helps.
Just read some more. I will also say there is nothing say "when" you draw your second weapon. Can you draw one weapon in one hand and then draw a second of hand weapon as a bonus action while attacking? effectively adding +2 dmg from dueling if you have both? Yes. But not every turn since combat has started and now putting a weapon away counts your stow move. It doesn't say you can stow and draw in the same turn with the same weapon. Still As a DM I would allow it because you took two styles of weapons fighting and it kind of makes sense and you lost a feat that would do some other plus. So it's cool.

Skipped all the way to the sixth one just so I can see my own comment lol.
