For example, if a single piston caliper is able to apply 500lbs. of push,
there would have to be 500lbs. of resistance from the other side of the
caliper frame. Total 1000 lbs. 'squeeze'. All things being equal, if in a
dual piston caliper, with each piston pushing with 500 lbs. force, doesn't
the rotor experience the same amount of friction against turning?

You can think about an experiment that will give you a clear anser:

You have one caliper with one piston that pushes onto the disk with say
1000N. Now you take a second caliper with the same piston diameter and
slip it over the disk. You will get double the force, no matter on what
side of the disk the piston of that second caliper is. You can now make
a single caliper out of the two, without changing anything compared to
having two calipers.
