I think you've got that a bit wrong. It's not DWKWIA, but DYKWMBI after a gate check.
Do You Know Where My Bag Is.
I am sitting in St Thomas as I write this. My friend had to gate check her carry on, and of course, DL lost it. She lost 1/2 day going to local shops to get clothes. I am quite sure she would have loved to have had her bag strapped into a seat.
You are more than welcome to enjoy the gate check experience. To each his/her own.

I wouldn't have a different point of view regarding strapping my luggage into an empty row, I think it's potentially dangerous and obnoxious. I have no issue with Gate Valet and am happy to do it if necessary. Others are bound to disagree which is fine, but stamps them with a big "DYKWIA?"
