Having flown many times, I can confirm that the aisle armrest triggers exist on most major airlines. Any time I sit down on a flight, the first thing I do is look for that button.

The reason it's hard to find is because they should be down most of the time. In sudden turbulence, even if you're wearing a seatbelt, they keep you from spilling out into the aisle.

Also be aware that people walking by, the food cart, etc. can cause it to suddenly slap back down.

Yeah and then i look around to watch others try raise their own arm rests to no avail and laugh to myself
