Handflying with yoke

Hello

I have a question on handflying Boeing and other conventional aircraft. I find some Pilots resting thieir elbow on their armrest while hand flying with the yoke. Others were flying with armrest in the up position.

In fly by wire Airbus. Pilots are required to rest their arm on the specail ouboard armrest. In Boeing what is the SOP.

I thoght Boeing armrests are there just for comfort like car. I would appreciate if you would share your wisdom .

Thank you.
