well Wizzair has a simple solution: charge for carry on luggage that is larger than a laptop bag/tiny backpack.
Also consider that usually ground handling is a different company, the airline is paying the stewards wasting time on board anyway, but may have a per-bag price of the check ins.
This may vary by airline, but I believe stewards are generally paid an appallingly low rate (well under minimum wage) for any hours that aren't actually flight hours.
