I don't think it looks like an eyesore anymore than a normal armrest.
I'm not sure what functionality you gain without the center seat (maybe deeper storage) but I know what functionality you lose.
Regarding the coffee statement; every full-size truck I've been in has additional cup holders that slide out from under the center seat. Yup right where someone sitting in that seat would put their feet, so they just have to straddle it and politely hand your coffee to you as needed...or hold your coffee for you. In either case...not really the driver's concern as your beverage will be available.
One last point on why I prefer having the center seat, and I know this is not a common use, but it is a way I use my truck now. I sleep sideways in the front of the truck during bow season a couple of nights per year. The bed is full of coolers and crap. The back seat of the truck has my bags, bow, boots, etc. I'm 5'11". I can sleep sideways in a full-size truck. I'm not saying I sleep great that way, but it's more convenient that way when running out of the house at the last minute to get a hunt in and not have to set up/tear down a tent in the dark after a couple-hour drive.
