It is so much more comfortable to have the seat next to you empty.
I didn't realize that the arm rest was for the exclusive use of the aisle or window passenger

In all seriousness, I always found the middle seat block a bit silly. It was made clear that the lock could be lifted and the middle seat assigned if loads required it. No one willingly chooses a middle seat until the loads require it.
