You'll also she numerous bags around said carousel, likely waiting for a cart/container and pulled off simply due to no room on the carousel.

ATL maybe different slightly. However in general this is layout used. Bags come off the bag moving system and onto a carousel in back
Some may have bag storage facilities built inline, and the bag is put on a tray and placed in a slot, and pulled out only when time is ready for the flight. (See Dubai bag handling for example) Some may like AMS not have a bag carousel and instead a machine places each bag into a container.
Pardon my blunt assertion here, but you are wrong.
With all due respect, I don't think you know what you're talking about. The video you posted ref SeaTac is accurate for that airport, but holds little simalarity to ATL (I currently have Ops in SEA and know their baggage system just as well as I know ATL's - it's not the same).
Let me cut to the chase; you've posted inaccurate information, I'm simply trying to correct those inaccuracies.
