In my recent flights, the time spent on getting carry-on baggage stowed properly before departure is what makes it a mystery to me that airlines aren't offering free checked baggage and charging for carry-ons.

It actually common on European short haul for the company to “offer” to stove carryon in the hold at the gate at least from what I have personally seen.

Yep. And if you get lucky, the people at RyanAir won't measure/weigh it if you volunteer when they ask. Means you can often get by even if you're over their limits, though it varies by airport I think.

Hold space is actually a limited commodity.
