IME, DL or AA isn't any better and WN gives free check bags which helps some but surprized how much still is carried-on, Other carriers have much, much strict carry on -- such as max 8KGs (but recent experience in India -- AI, 6E, .. shows significant violation in actuality. But enough compliance it did go smoother.

Except for one 8 KG item, no carryon. That isn't enforcement as much disallowing rollaboards. That does not work in the US even for those with free bag checking -- 1K/GS/BG1/BG2 where they are the vast majority on hub to hub routines. And US Senators have opposed limiting rollaboards or imposing fees.
