Many do, but obviously not BA. But you do have a choice, don't you? Oh, maybe not.
On Swiss, the flight attendants stop Y class passengers from using business class bins. (politely, asking to see boarding card, and assisting) Although on one Jumbolino flight I took ZRH-GVA there were only two rows of C and NO overhead bins (O2 and other stuff for the crew up there) at all for C passengers.
