I always check bags, so don't count me as someone who wants all of my stuff in carry-on so I can avoid baggage delays. I just always put my backpack under the seat because I feel like it might help others who have larger carry-ons and need the space. I don't need the space. On the other hand, I can't remember any FAs forcing someone to remove a smaller bag from the OH and put it under the seat. So I really don't think this is a widespread problem.
