Do airlines even pretend to enforce carry on rules anymore?

Just back from a multi city work trip, and the amount of people putting half their worldly possessions in the overhead bin was out of control
Obviously oversized rollaboard bags, totes, shopping bags, boots, you name it
If you weren’t boarding in the first couple of groups, you were basically SOL on overhead spacei
I know checking bags isn’t ideal, but you shouldn’t have to pay for first class or premium economy just to have a fair shot to have a place for your bag

The entire airline industry has gone to shite post-covid.
FAs locked arms with teachers/nurses and became overly entitled. They were on a power trip via mask rules and since that went away, they just dont give a shite.

If they quit charging the BS fees for checking bags, the boarding process would speed up immensely. Just bake it into the ticket price and move on. SW Bags Fly Free has distinguished them. I have been reading that they are close to abandoning the cattle car approach and going to assigned seats.

The European ones certainly seem to. The American ones not so much.

I just returned from an international flight.
People will have standard carry-on wheeled luggage, a backpack the size of a sofa and a huge book bag or purse and cram it all in the overhead.
It is infuriating. Everything besides the carry on should go at their feet.
Coming home, the airline asked people to check their carry on for free and I volunteered for that. I don't care if my carry on is late coming home.
So I breezed to my seat with only a small backpack at my feet.

Sorry. Found out my favorite cruise line doesn't have the type of coca cola I wanted so had to load my carry on with a few 12 packs

They need to. Only a low class individual would bring a large carry on with them. Should be limited to a backpack or small duffle bag

My last flight the couple behind us used our bin (paid for Comfort+) to put her purse, his book sack, and their jackets because they used all their space with luggage. I went to remove their stuff and it caused a scene to where the FA took my luggage towards the back. Then I had to wait on the plane till it was clear to go find my luggage so that I could exit the plane.
That along with Delta changing their status perks has me flying to cheapest flight now.

Yea, pisses me off seeing people lug a huge bag onto the plane. The airlines just need to assign each over top bin to its assigned seat. They already have em labeled. But sure enough, when I go sit down at 19A, there's usually someone else's bag already in the 19A bin. Math doesn't check out.
