Thinking about it for five microseconds... there's a lot of expensive retail space being used for that purpose in many airports, so I assume they do it because it sells enough luggage to make money. If there was a better use for the space, they'd sell something else.
I don't know _why_ it works, but unless they're all money-laundering fronts, I have to assume that it does.
i have been in situations when they wouldn’t accept my carry on and checking it in is the only option. which sucks if it’s a loose bag that doesn’t close

The only place that you are expected to go is a plane.
Which you can’t take suitcases on.

mine busts open, zipper broken; need to divide luggage better amongst multiple passengers.. etc
