+1.

I had a fun afternoon playing with a Topas Multiwheel Cabin Spinner 56 in-store yesterday. It is visibly significantly larger than IATA carry on size.

So, for both weight and size reasons, for people flying predominantly Asian and/or Australian airlines, I think it's a non-starter as carry on luggage.
