I have done it and am able to do it. Just not 'willing' I guess.
Used to do it pre liquid restrictions. And my 10 flights in 52 hours earlier in the year, obviously only did hand-luggage.
As said, just find it annoying to run out of small deo things etc and hate buying loads of them. And carrying everything with me and unpacking at security, re-packing after, then having faff on plane with space issues etc.
I rarely have to wait more than a few minutes for the bags at the other end and I always think that's 'worth' it - i.e. I don't value saving those few mins over the hassle of packing efficiently, running out of things and having to carry it everywhere.
most of the time, my bag also includes a gym bag which takes up 90% of space and again, I dont want to carry my trainers etc through lounge and on plane with me.
