that boarding earlier rather than later means your more likely to keep hold of your cabin bag on busy flights.
I don't believe this would be the case, they have the possibility to check the people at the gates as there is always a queue to board (in my experience) and they have time to check luggage before the boarding starts (they used to do this before the new hand luggage rule, so I guess that they still do).
