This video is not clickbait, it shows compellingly the problem.

I did a short hop on EK837 to BAH last week and tried out the full recline briefly. It was not noticeably narrower to me. Armrest does not move, but it didn’t bother me. As with the other EK J seats I’d expect that above-average and below build people will be fine. YMMV.
