It was a cheap airline so overhead space can be difficult
You answered your own question. I can’t remember the last flight I had that didn’t announce that they were going to need to check some people’s carry-ons. As someone that purposefully avoids letting the TSA manhandle my luggage, I’m going to do what I can to avoid that.
For a while now here in Europe, they charge more for bags that don’t fit under the seat and let you check in one bag for free you used to be able to take on the flight so unless most people are paying extra for that, which I wouldn’t believe would be the case if they’re flying these cheap airlines, I don’t think that is the issue
