I think people just aren't thinking it completely through honestly.
If "Any bag that can fit under your seat must go there." were actually made into a rule, then you would stop doing what you are doing today, and hence take up more overhead space. So, the rule would actually be counter-productive, and likely why it isn't currently the rule.
