Compare this to other martial style uses like shoving prone or a cleave type attack from great weapon mastery (d12+str+10) and it doesn't look too good. You can compare it with magic initiate for hunters mark or hex - with two attacks that is 2d6 hard to resist damage per turn + the riders on top of that. Feats give loads of better ways to use a bonus action than a low damage attack with a small weapon; if fighters were MAD and so needed more ASIs than other classes or if they got fewer feats than other classes then I could maybe see more of a place for TWF but as it is is fine, just not good for a fighter.
