Nobody is doing that.

If there was an advantage, we would be doing it.

There is no advantage. Go get me a 10 minute video of you doing it, footage of hands.

That's their choice. It remains a great option for anyone who wants to do it, and new players should be aware of it so they can make the choice. It's especially relevant when not having much haste. There's no reason aside from laziness to sit there and wait 4 seconds between every attack round. You can get extra attack swings in that period of time without a stressful exertion.

Also, at the most basic level this IS being done. It's calling jousting. You equip your highest damage weapon for the first swing against an enemy to maximize that first swing, and then swap to the better ratio weapon after the first swing if you're fighting something that's standing still. It's your own lack of expertise in the game to not understand this. Keep showing how wrong you are, it's funny.

This.

If bandolier function was present on p99 it would be possible but so annoying that I wouldn’t be doing it. Bandolier, however, is not on p99 so unless you’re using some hack program - I’d argue that doing it would either not be possible or (if possible in short bursts) sustainable.
