I went for a 20" bag and even that is only just inside the allowed limits as they seem to forget to measure including the wheels ...
Tumi includes wheels and handles in its calculations. However, most of the mainstream manufacturers such as Samonsite do not.
I really don't see the problem with enforcing published limits. People should just be glad it's not like most international airlines where they have strict size and weight requirements. For instance, I was on a Qantas flight on Tuesday, and I saw that they had a scale/sizer combo with a 7 kg (15.4 lb) limit. How many people who fly domestically in the US consistently have a 22x14x9 bag with 15-18 pounds total? (Unless you're flying F9 or NK I suppose...
