Maybe rule is the wrong word. Calling it a custom may be more appropriate.

Absolutely. That being said, I think that it is a xxxxx move to drop your bags in the first bin and walk to the back of the plane. Those sitting in the front and arriving late will have to walk to the back of the plane, delaying boarding and deboarding. A little common sense by both sides could help immensely.
