Tags on carryon, yes, mostly for little people who think airline status is a badge of honour, as they serve no purpose.
The only things that serve a purpose are the carryon handles so that your bag comes off first when gate checked on a regional jet.

Interesting judgement about tackiness, but I couldn't care less "being tacky". FF and flying only premium, I think the tags are useful, especially when the number of hand luggage that can be taken onboard are dependent on status / travel class and you have the "hand luggage police" at the entrance to security like in ZRH . Never got stopped by them, they even smile friendly at me.

Most frequent flyers, and especially premium flyers do not wear tags of any kind on their carryons. Its tacky.
I ve done this numerous times. Usually the agent will remember you.
However, in this case - it would not be surprising that the AC employee simply did not give a damn. Rotten workplace culture from the top down.
