It may not be a simulation, but we do like it to make sense. To my mind, anyone whose primary fighting style is unarmed knows how to use both hands in a fight. You will never see a boxer fight with one hand, or really any one with rudimentary fighting skills. Fighting with two blades simultaneously is dangerous and difficult. If any character with no specialized feature can fight with two short swords, it makes no sense whatsoever that a trained unarmed fighter doesn't know how to use his off hand. This is an obvious case for common sense winning out over RAW.

To my knowledge, fighting unarmed by choice is stupid and even a small knife is a large advantage in a fight compared to being unarmed.
