In your example, you are never transmitting on 7050. In fact (and often reality), several CQers could all be announcing their listening frequency as 7050. In addition, there is nothing to stop a DX station from CQing on 7050.

If the concern is bandwidth used, shouldn't split operation be banned
as well? How does same band dueling CQ use more bandwidth than
"listening on this frequency and 7050"?

In both cases it is the activity triggered by the running station on
both frequencies that prevents those frequencies from being used by
someone else.

Not arguing for banning either, just pointing out that if bandwidth is
the concern they are essentially identical examples of "hogging" a
scarce resource.
