You cannot be serious
From my 20+ years experience as a traveler, I've always found that the passenger in the middle seat gets access to both armrests since the passengers on the aisle and window have extra space, they can lean "outwards" of the seat, while the passenger in the middle has the least shoulder space. If not full access, then occasionally access to both.

If it's shared, then aisle&window passengers have 1 1/2 armrests and the middle seat has 2 halves. Do you realize that all those seats cost the same? Yet you're coming here saying that it's shared and completely acceptable that the guy in the middle gets the shaft? More like a shared shaft. Come on!

I didn't penny pitch anything, and "just avoid the middle seat" doesn't address the issue that passengers face while sitting in it. That's all I'm really asking here, why are middle seat passengers given the middle finger by the airlines.
