I'm surprised that some airlines P2 not trusted with thrust lever handling/RTO.
Co-pilots can still be trained and checked (as they should be) on how to perform an RTO from RHS in case of captain incapacitation, but it doesn't mean it's good idea to do it every day.
At least for 737, I am happy to argue that the 3-step RTO maneuver (thrust levers idle, speedbrakes up, select full reverse) is much easier from LHS, as the speedbrake lever is on that side.
