When you put double the weapons in someone's hands they can strike faster, that's the basis. While yes a shielded opponent will MOST LIKELY win against a dual-wielding one, it would depend on training and how much experience they have.
And if you don't know, the spear/shield combination was usually for the Phalanx and formations. Outside of that, especially while fighting alone, or after the formation broke(Either due to be overrun, which is neigh impossible because Spartans give literally no ***** ) or to engage in more 'personal' combat a Spartan would want something a bit easier to control and not be parried away than a spear, so their Swords were used to great effectiveness.

And yeah, Spartans didn't route cause they were ******* boss, but still, even when using their swords for individual combat, dual wielding blades is almost the least ideal 'loadout' for being a warrior. Spartan blades weren't particularly strong, or designed for parrying, dual wielding is basically asking for you to get stabbed in every way possible.
