The real problem I see is the perverse incentive to stuff everything into the largest possible carry-on bag, and then jam that into the overhead bin. As another commenter noted, planes are full these days, and this just makes the misery of stowing your bag worse. Just charge everyone $10-$15 more, don’t create an incentive to not check bags!
