Why not three wipers, or four? Is more always better?  old MG's had three
wipers.

oh and the " stone-guard thingie on the driver-side wiper" is actually
meant to add pressure on the blade at high speeds to keep the blade on
the glass . . . 

(sorry for the sarcastic overkill)

I have the same question. Obviously the two wiper system is more 
effective for what it is supposed to do.

My guess is that the single-wiper-converts do it because they think it 
enhances the "sporty" look of the car (as few "utility" accessories as 
possible?). But there might be something else to it, too. 

Personally, I like the two-wiper look, especially the way the stone-guard

thingie on the driver-side wiper adds some imbalance to the car (just 
like the driver-side-only-mirror in the Testarrosa :-)
