Interesting! I didn't even know this was a problem. I always make it a
point to board the plane as late as humanly possible, to minimize the
time I have to spend with complete strangers in a small metal and/or
carbon fibre tube.

I suspect part of the issue is that people in later groups get on the
plane with their enormous luggage and find no space left in the bins for
it.  So they sneak on early with group 1 or 2 to take advantage.

As the experienced traveller that I am, I never bring luggage bigger than what fits under the seat.

The lesson here is:  people are assholes and always have been, and
probably always will be.

This is scientifically proven! Just read a history book and you will confirm this statement.
