How many people touch the overhead bin on a flight vs how many handlers are going to touch your bag from check-in to retrieval? Very generally speaking, the bins get touched twice: 1 x departure by a FA and 1 x arrival by a passenger whereas your bag will be handled more than that irrespective of LD-bin or bulk loading.
