Domestic carry-on allowances are too generous, and most people have to pay to check a bag. If everyone brings the maximum carry-on allowance on-board domestically, it is absolutely impossible to fit all the bags. But most have to pay $$ to check bags so of course they don't unless they have to. It's a policy problem.

Most international flights get a free checked bag.

Flying in Australia domestically, where there is a stingy 7kg limit on carry-on (and 1 free checked bag), boarding can take less than 15 minutes.
