My MC had one when I got it off the lot. I believe it's the only "extra" option my car has
But, I am glad I have it, I find my arm on it all the time when driving. If you have an adult in the back seat, you can use their knee

If it's the after-market one that the dealer installs, it's a piece of cake to install. You have to remove the inside bolts (front and rear) that anchor the seat rails to the floor, slide the base of the armrest under the seat rails and tighten the bolts again. I had to remove mine this weekend as part of the pocess to swap out the E-brake and shifter boots.

The armrest was a piece of cake. Removing the center console was another thing!
Yeah, I saw your other post. I'm guessing that what you're hearing is the turbo spooling up and noting more. If you're feeling the pull at the same time that you hear the noise then that's the turbo. But don't take my word for it, a quick visit to the service department should relieve the stress.
