Absolutely the contrary - I do about 120 segments a year so probably might not be the most frequent traveler around here but do reasonably fit into the "more than 2-3x a year" category, and I am always livid if being forced to check my carry-on.
Ever calculated the time wasted per year if you would be forced to check your bag every time? Based on my numbers that would be 60 hours a year wasted waiting at a baggage-carousel, or the equivalent of one and a half work week. I certainly would prefer to spend that time with my family and not with other strangers who were forced into the same fate...so I can fully understand becoming ballistic if subjected to such a situation with ample space to stow your bag on board...
