That, in my experience, is more miss that hit. When they do, they tend to pick only on the very largest bags.
Almost always seated in one the first rows, and generally amongst the first to board, I get to see the entire parade come by. That includes plenty of big rollaboards, often with an attache case or other bag parked on top. Regardless of class of travel.
