I think you are right in a general way but giving two screens to average office users may not have those results right away. Two screens increase the cognitive load and require some skills that most people in that setting do not possess. This means that they may need some training before the increase in productivity appears. This is based on my anedoctal experience so YMMV.

So a natural use case is to edit a full page document on one side, and have another full page document next to it that you can read or reference.
