The whole process seems increasingly stupid to me. A lot of conveyor belts, tracking systems etc. just to get a bag that I can carry by my own, all because the space in the overhead compartments is limited - manufacturers are working on larger compartments recently
On the contrary. Increasingly humongous bags being wrestled into giant compartments makes boarding and deplaning a stressful and lengthy process.
I totally get why travelers don’t want to check bags given the status quo, but the stupidity is that the system works so poorly that they don’t want to check rather than that there isn’t enough room in the passenger compartment for everyone’s belongings.
Cargo should be able to safely and efficiently travel separately.

You don’t need to bring your whole wardrobe, I can comfortably pack everything I need for two weeks in a small backpack. I’ve met some people who pack all their life belongings when they travel and it’s ridiculous, how can you even enjoy the destination when you are weighed down with so much random crap.

Some are moving to a new home. Some are traveling with infants. Some are traveling for work and have equipment. Some need to travel with mobility devices or medical equipment. Different strokes.
