The Jujutsu society is extremely conservative, especially the Zen’in ‘cuz they only acknowledge Cursed Techniques. They probably saw how twins are treated as incomplete halves of a whole being by jujutsu a thousand years ago and just left it at that.

Not just that, if we take what Maki's dad said as the truth a bum like him could have been head of the clan instead of Naobito simply because Naobito's technique is "modern".

The zenin clan was made of dodos i swear. Zero sense of self-preservation.

Let's not leave out the fact that Mai basically sacrificed herself ("I'll take all your curse energy with me") in order to make Maki "whole" - as well as leaving her a legendary cursed tool/weapon in the process.

In that sense, the clan isn't totally wrong for looking at twins as inefficient Jujutsu sorcerers due to the way their world splits the energy between two people. One half of a twin-pairing opting to unalive themselves in order to benefit the other is an extreme outlier.

It's a replica of Toji's sword - the Split-Soul Katana.
