This will be for new passengers mostly, the thinking is they already have negative press from introduction of bag fees, the amount of negative press now from increasing those fees is somewhat lessened.
They charge this fee at the gate. You don't pay it when you buy your ticket. When you buy your ticket, you have no idea of what your airline may decide to charge you the day you leave.

As a consumer, you get to pick your flight based on the lowest cost. But once you've committed to your non-refundable ticket, you are the mercy of the airline to decide what fees they may want to charge you on the day you leave.
