Agreed that's a trick you can use if you know this and if your pedals and shoes allow this.
First, does everybody that use dual pedals does like this?
Secondly, it doesn't work on all pedals. On my platform pedals there is too much grip, i can't rotate horizontally so this trick won't work on my pedals and i'm probably not the only one.
And, it remains that twisting the foot isn't as a natural move as walking and stepping sideways like you would do if you were on platform pedals.
It can works for some though. Probably with most cycling specific shoes and some hybrid shoes and pedals.
