For some reason it looks a little bit off considering that he was already boarded and in his seat. I can understand the reasoning if it is executed at gate or check-in. It happened to me, and while frustrating, you comply. But if you have to take people off the aircraft, that looks like a last minute decision made by the airline to move staff. The best approach would have been to up the reward/incentive.

But if it was a last-minute thing, what happens to checked baggage, which may have already been loaded onto the plane by that point? Does this imply you're much more likely to get picked for last-minute eviction if you didn't check anything in?

  No, they can re-route the baggage for you if you're going on another flight. If you're not flying they remove it (which can significantly delay takeoff causing a fine to the airline if their stats drop outside of standards). I've flown on budget flights before that have a similar case where your checked lugagage is not necessarily on your flight to the destination but could be on a later one. Even much later. Very few guarantees before they actually start paying out for lost or delayed baggage. They're also allowed to ship your baggage to you or hand deliver with a shipping courier.
