This action helps to keep your centre of gravity inside your body. The arm is usually held out in the opposite direction to the direction in whch the load is pulling you.
If you have to carry the load in front of you, your free arm will tend to go backwards.
Keeping your centre of gravity inside your body helps to keep you upright.
If you didn't have a free hand, then it would be normal to keep both loads as close to the body as possible.
