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.
