The shields actually do give you attributes, but only while they are drawn with a longsword, which is not very useful.
And don’t put one on if you go light armor… it just adds weight and gives no bonus.
It doesn’t give attributes with longsword either, it’s a bug.

Yes it does, i just tried it 
Look closely on my stats when i draw / undraw the shield.
So definately works.
Might be your character thats bugged, i would ask support on that matter
You only get the stats from your “active” weapon, whether it is drawn or not.
As the shield can currently only be active alongside a sword, you need to have a sword equipped plus have that weapon as your active weapon in order to get the stats from the shield.
It is not very intuitive and frankly I would have preferred they merged sword and shield to a single “weapon” so that is was a one-slot item like every other weapon. As it is, you see a lot of people without swords running around with a shield on their back that does nothing but add armor weight.
He knows that, he already stated that it doesnt give stats with the longsword either… 
“It doesn’t give attributes with longsword either, it’s a bug.”
Some people wear the shield for the aesthetics 
But has he equipped a sword and then selected that as the active weapon? Otherwise he wont get the stats of either sword nor shield.
True, I would advice him to test what i did in that gif to see if its really bugged or not … because its surely not bugged in general. Might be on his character and such…
