Exactly. For no other reason than the FAA and others would never approve such a seat, citing safety reasons. Remember, the entire aircraft has to be evacuated in 90 seconds with half the exits inop.
I also don't see how carry-ons fit into such a schema. You're essentially taking all the overhead space by putting heads overhead.
