Yes, my point was more general, not specifically for first class, where the baggage fees don’t apply. I disagree though that removing the source of the conflict (in this case) will eliminate the conflict or not lead to new conflicts. I’m with the poster that advocated for removing the offenders rather than punishing everyone. Onboard storage, and being able to access your baggage while in flight, is a convenience that most flyers won’t want to give up, plus it frees up space in the cargo hold for freight. It doesn’t really make sense to me to get rid of overhead bins entirely (incurring considerable expense in the process) because a tiny minority of passengers fight over them.
