This is it exactly.
However, the fundamental problem stems from the game changing decision where airlines started charging for checked luggage. The moment they did that, everyone wants to go with the carry-on. So now we have far too much carry-on bags being toted onto planes.
The obvious and predictable reaction to that is that people are racing to board as early/quickly as possible, in order to gain adequate over-head space.
And that turns boarding into a ####show.
Stop charging for checked luggage (well, one bag at least) and the problem goes away.
