FWIW this is the first time I’ve heard of a 121 pilot logging actual instrument time during 121 ops. There’s no way to make that time accurate without constantly starting/stopping clocks at times when we should be paying attention to flying. The way modern airliners are flown under part 121 in our airspace system, logging actual instrument doesn’t make much sense anyway.
IAPs conducted in IMC, sure, many log those, but actual instrument is different.
