The only real benefit of giving the summoned pet weapons after the really low levels is when you are using proccing weapons, but unlike a charmed pet you can't kill the pet and get the weapons back and the summoned pet is really only good for farming green trash where proccing weapons are useless.

For the low level pets (maybe until level 12) its nice to give them a big weapon like a scythe. They will do the actual weapon damage instead of their usual damage, delay doesn't matter for pets.
There is a time when pets start to get dual wield but wont have 2 weapons automatically. In that time giving pets 2 weapons will help.

If the pet has innate DW it doesn't need a second weapon. It's the same principle as a charmed pet with a torch/shield/instrument. You can watch the melee chat and see that it will slash one swing and "hit" the next swing, hit = offhand swing.
