The airline wins because they don't have to pay baggage handlers to handle my bags. The airline wins!
The airline might win and you might win, but your fellow passengers do not. I've seen boarding held up by people who insist on bringing apparently unlimited cabin baggage on board, banging into other passengers and taking up all the overhead space.
I do hope I'm not sitting beneath your 30 pound bag on a flight! And the airline won't win if I sue because I'm injured by that baggage.
