Some European flights have gone down to a ridiculously little 8kg cabin baggage allowance on wide bodies too — the same as with the narrow body A3XX planes too. And it really is all about the money for the airlines even when they try to package it as being about something else beside that.
Assuming your empty bag weighs less than 1 kg, that still gives you 7 kg for your personal items. Furthermore, the policy ensures that ALL passengers can bring personal items onboard.
