IMO it doesn't really matter if you explicitly allow the strength bonus for Forearm Snap Blades as you get 1/2 of the powerlevel of your off-hand weapon added to your main-weapon wich being (str)M in either case wich translates to (3/2 str)M. With an off-hand skill of 0 and no ambidex you don't get any additional dice, wich is essentially the same as just getting a str boost of 50%.

unless of course the str boost would be factored in before 2 weapon fighting rules wich would just be too powerfull (My str 10 char would do 22M in that case).

My interpretation ofcourse, but since the two-weapon rules in CC came out I've ruled in my games that they replace the str-bonus previously given to dual spurs. If someone wants to use two spurs, they just get offhand cyberimplant skil or ambidexterity edge and slice away just like everyone else.

It might have to do with the fact that strapping something on to your fore arm isn't as solid as having something come out of your forearm.

I am all for allwoing anyone using two weapons to get the %50 bonus to damage.
