As they other two comments said, it's for the overhead baggage space. Airlines need to start enforcing passengers to use their correct/allotted baggage space.
This is why I always make sure my carry-on fits under the seat, so I don't need to fight for overhead baggage space.
Or bring back gate check for overhead bags.
They've done that on every flight I've been on in the past like 5 years. They start by asking for volunteers, then start yoinking people's bags as they board.
I mean gate check where they give it back to you at the gate on the other end not regular bag-check at the gate.
They do that only on the tiny planes that don't have bins large enough for carry-on bags.
I recall it being relatively common up until about 5 or 6 years ago on most flights where the overhead bins would likely fill up.
