The best solution would be if all airlines stopped allowing hand luggage above a carrier bag size altogether.
To clarify, recent airline accidents have shown that people will risk my life trying to remove it from a plane so they can go fuck themselves if they want to save ten minutes by bypassing the baggage collection belts.

I do agree in part. If it were included in the cost, and hassle-free as intended, I would return to using the overhead space for what it was intended - a hat and a coat.
Can't believe the number of people who pack bags heavier than they can lift, and as you allude, nearly break someone's neck trying to remove it at an awkward angle.
The woman across from me, maybe mid-50's, was moving seat. She didn't know how to release her seatbelt buckle. I realised as she began looking confused/panicked and helped her.
Seatbelt buckle, really.

I completely agree with this. Some of the 'hand' luggage is ridiculous and clearly should be in the hold. It makes getting on/off so much slower and really dangerous with people having 10 tonne bags to lift over my head.
