Ridiculous circular logic. As if allowing them to have them all on makes it better?

Bigger fish to fry like what? The FA's are all back there trying to get to their jumpseats before the gear comes down.
It's simple, put all your stuff away. Your very example will delay in securing the cabin. An extra couple seconds per row determining if you're gonna "let it slide." The pack mentality dictates that looking the other way will only lead to further abuses/haggling by pax.
