Spot on Megan. How many people do you see getting pinged at check-in cos their luggage is a couple of kg's over and copping a heavy $ penalty, when the morbidly obese guy next in line has a good 50Kg+ on them but their luggage is correct weight. Should be total weight, passenger + luggage. Set a limit, and if you're under its all good, if you're over you pay accordingly. The PC brigade won't like it, and I know there are issues with implementing it eg what weight do you set the limit at etc, but seems fairer to me.

and they increase their profit further by selling the payload gained from the lightweight to the freight market
Under the absurd idea proposed here, then yes they could.
On a short sector the fuel saving of a 50kg passenger compared to a 75kg passenger would be maybe 15 cents. On a long sector it would be lucky to be a dollar.

I'm just trying to figure out what a kilgramme is?
Metro if you can tell me where to find GWFK on the newer software I'd be interested. All I have left is to compare Vls Full on the speed tape vs Vls stated on the box and adjust Vapp accordingly.
