Yet, I often see FAs helping lift carry-ons. In fact, a few weeks ago, I was trying to put my luggage in an overhead, dropped my cane I was balancing on, and the FA almost ran over to help. I appreciated it. In almost all cases, even when an FA isn't near, fellow passengers help out. BTW, I am not yet 76 y.o. (like poster #7), but I am 70.
