Yes, but look how long people coped with home made dual levers. Many people still use home made/rik specials. As I said, I wouldn't be that difficult to make a dual lever. You're probably right that there probably isn't going to be a dual hyd lever as there isn't a demand for them.
Avid BB7's are £60 per caliper
Shimano Deore are £30 per caliper
Paul Levers are £60! £60 for a fucking brake lever!
Shimano SLX are £25 a lever.
The way I'm thinking you'd run 2 master cylinders alongside each other and a single lever. That's still only £50. You'd have to modify it but still it shouldn't be too difficult. On the other hald you could look into some motorbike trials brakes to see the size of the pistons to run a simple t-piece to split front/back.
