Sounds like a mental carry-over from the time in classic that Necro pets took weapon delay (no idea this was ever true for others).

actually it was true for all mobs (including charmed mobs) as well during classic, this is one of the reasons that dorn b'dynn, ambassador dvinn and the other infamous dragoon dirk wielders across norrath were so brutal for their con - they attacked about 30% faster, and thus did 30% more dps than a normal mob of equivalent level, because they wielded dragoon dirks.

Weight and size is a pretty big issue when comparing the cheapest weapons that vendors carry in unlimited quantity:

club (5wt, size: medium)
vs
dagger (2.5wt, size:small)

I always keep a stock of daggers in a large soiled bag. Clubs wouldn't fit since that bag only holds small sized items, and I'm not going to buy a tink bag just to carry around 10x pet weapons.

As an aside: Carrying a fishing pole and bait is also a good idea...with a high fishing skill I can usually fish 2 rusty daggers out of the water when I run out of my vendor-bought daggers.

Weight is the main issue by far.
