Here is my 2 cents.

Below are four photos of Bent and Level Right Wrists. Disregard the yellow lines. Homer reasoned that one could cock the Left Wrist without cocking the Right Wrist by allowing CF and Right Elbow bend to Cock the Left Wrist. Hard to imagine at first. The advantage of this method is that the RFFW can stay intact, on its own plane, the Plane of the Right Hand Bend and can be Driven into the ball like a battering ram either Actively by the Hitter or Passively by the Swinger. Any right hand wrist cock would have to be totally undone prior to Impact for the Right Arm to be inline with the club as seen below. So its damaging geometrically and adds nothing to the physics or force of the swing that cant be gained via left wrist cock and uncock. Perhaps a one armed man playing with just his right arm would choose to cock his right wrist for power but he'd pay a price in consistency I'd imagine. Luke can hit it one handed without a cock pretty dang far by the way. So there is consistency to be gained by setting the RFFW at Address, Impact Fix and then returning it to the ball at Impact. The RFFW has a structural advantage.

To understand what an off plane right hand cocking would look like (off plane meaning an off the plane of the Right Hand Bend not an off the Inclined Plane) imagine the first photo below of Lynn but with his right hand cocked UP and the dowel now off the table top (which represents the Plane of the Right Wrist Bend).


These four guys have their right forearms and their clubshafts "on the table", courtesy of a level right hand. Try chipping with just your right arm to see how sweet and powerful this alignment can be. If it isnt working make sure your right hand is frozen in a bent position in accordance with your desired amount of shaft lean, ball position etc and focus on establishing and sustaining the pressure in your #3pp. This last bit is amazing as its often the missing ingredient, one armed chipping or two armed driving or putting or anything.
