Volume, not weight, is typically the issue in finding overhead bin space.
Perhaps the airlines should have actual overhead bins and seats as sizers, and require passengers to test their bags in the bins or under the seat to be allowed to bring them on board. (And having actual overhead bins as sizers means that passengers also have to show that they can lift their own bags into the bins.)
