Since the driver should use both hands on the wheel while actually driving there is no function for driver's armrests.
Pointless accessory.

Huh? Maybe if you are talking about some ridiculously oversized armrest you'd have a point, but I've owned three cars with armrests and manual transmissions (97 Maxima SE, 00 LGT, BRZ w/ Toyota Europe GT86 armrest) and they don't get in the way. And I've got really long arms. Elbow on the arm rest, hand on the shift knob. As long as the shift knob isn't significantly lower than the armrest, you're fine. My arm is pretty close to level with the OEM GT86 armrest, although I suppose some people might have problems with some of the crappy aftermarket armrests for the twins that are like 4" thick.
