Low Cost airlines like hand baggage only for the quick turnarounds and the extra they can charge for the hold bags.

Passengers like hand baggage because airports inevitably lose/damage/steal a significant proportion of the bags that get handled.

New aircraft need to be designed to better cope with the amount of luggage that people are able/willing/allowed to carry on to the aircraft.
