That's a false premise: people will get to their destination faster if the plane is able to board and take off faster.
If there is any false premise this is it. The plane is scheduled to depart and arrive at fixed time points. As mentioned, in SYD that arrival time is very fixed. On the rare occasions that I've checked in luggage to sydney I have had to wait upto 30 minutes before luggage has arrived on the carousel. That's first bag out, not my bag, so longer to wait for my luggage. I can be in the city in those 30 minutes.
Plus, of course, I travel with medical equipment and computer that can't be checked in. My clothes take up little space compared to those items. Meaning checking in my clothes isn't going to save much carry on space anyway. But I will then have to juggle 3 bags instead of 2.
