While i think the price is pretty steep, i have said for years that they should charge for carry-on bags.
I get very annoyed with entitled people who try to carry on huge bags, take up far more than their share of overhead space, and slow down boarding. Charging for checked bags made me more sympathetic towards those people, but only slightly. I have always thought the airlines had it backwards and, really, it was the carry-on bags they needed to charge.
(I have mumbled this to flight attendants before, and they have always agreed with me...)
