Also, many items have a low limit or are outrightly not covered (jewelry, watches, computers, many electronics, anything that is business-related, money and coins and securities/stocks are a few that come to mind).

What about the second leg of a round trip? I am in London now, due to return to the US, and I have with me a laptop, a video camera, a mobile phone, etc. It's not reasonable to ask me to check in baggage containing thousands of dollars worth of equipment but deny me any kind of insurance to cover it. If we are forced to check these things in, the airline should be obliged to cover damage or loss.
