Like you I hand fly a lot. My company does not push it but at the same time it’s not forbidden unless bad weather, strong crosswind etc...
I often encourage the FOs I fly with to hand fly and very few of them are interested. I guess most of them are scared of the QAR. That’s pretty sad. And then they wounder why they struggle in the sim in direct law.
