At college: Can you both do mid term exams separately? Yes? So separate tuition

At work: Can you sit at separate desks and work independently? No? So one job

You can work independently for a lot of stuff, they just chose to teach.

How? One hand each? Just be talking on the phone over each other?

Yes, plenty of one armed people have desk jobs, they can type just fine.

As for the phone situation, I think it would be a reasonable accomidation that they'd have to be on the same team, working on the same projects. Meaning they go to all the same meetings and are in all the same phonecalls. If one or the other needs to make calls for clarification on something they know how to take turns, probably better than most. Or another reasonable accomidation would be that unless it's super urgent, they should receive emails, not phonecalls.

Two PCs at one desk and they can have the full output of two people.

Why would they need two hands if they're talking on the phone all day long?

Except if they are legally considered two separate individuals, they’d each have their own social numbers and tax ids. Meaning they, under law, would be two employees. And would require compensation for each.
