I fly a lot and rarely do I see someone with absolutely nothing on the plane. Having a checked bag by no means excludes you from also having a carry-on
I flew a fair bit (4-6 times a month) for my last job and while I would say sure everyone has a bag, it was very common for people to only have a personal item (backpack/purse) and not bring a carryon (roller bag that need to go in the overhead compartment).
The real solution here is to let everyone who doesn’t need access to the overhead compartment disembark first, irrespective of whether or not they checked a bag.
Yup, same. I almost never see someone without a backpack or something. I often see people without a carry on suitcase, usually because they were forced to gate check it though.
I once drove to a city that I was about to move to, took public transit to the airport and flew back to the city I was moving from. I had my phone and my wallet on me and nothing else. It was the weirdest feeling moving through an airport without a backpack or anything else.

But they are likely to be in a window seat with their path blocked by two on-carriers so the whole thing woukd descend into chaos.
