Balance and logistics wise, perhaps Mnk should've been allowed to equip a weapon on each hand, and have had H2H weapons work more like 1H weapons, but that's not the way they designed it, they're far more likely to add something in the sub slot than redesign how H2H weapons work now, honestly the real argument for doing something like this is just so that monks can get the visceral enjoyment of having another slot filled with something useful, so stop being ridiculous and argue an actual point.
Reasons to create a sub item for H2H users:
1.) Give H2H users the mental enjoyment of using that slot.
2.) Provides design opportunities for the dev team to do something new.
3.) Give H2H users a slight buff, they are actually falling behind most in the DD department, though whether it's really called for overall or not is debatable as they do have some good upsides.
Reasons against creating such an item.
1.) Inventory cost. (My inventory is at all time crisis levels.)
2.) Development priority cost. (what would the time spent on these items been spent on instead)
3.) You could make a balance argument that Mnks are still strong and therefore do not need another item, though personally I think this is debatable, and I'd argue that they could use a minor buff.
