At least have a universal size instead of each airlines deciding on what the size is. Now with checked luggage it has to be 32kgs or less.
Free market? Or Government Regulation? And what is "international size?" Depends on the country, and the airline. And 32kg or less - depends on the airline - many are 23kg or less, and charge if it weighs more.
If I'm on an overnight to 4 day trip, I'm likely bringing my standard rollerbag and a laptop bag - plenty compliant, but my smaller roller isn't going to hold what I want/need. So if I have a choice of airline, I'm choosing the one where I don't have to check luggage.
