Nail on the head with this one. Maybe in combination with:
A fine of £1000 per bag or a lifetime ban should do the trick.
Ryanair does already have in place some procedures it appears to ensure least amount of bags are in cabin, by charging for them to be taken into cabin. Even better, pax do not book for airport staff to check in bag, saving cost, and rely on pax to bring bags to gate, then to be placed in hold.
Only if pax booked in advance and provided no more than a certain amount of bags in total can a bag be taken into cabin. Do other airlines limit the exposure to cabin bags the same?
