It probably sobers up a few thousand more who might be otherwise inclined to go off the rails. If it reverses a trend, it's worth it.
Again, very difficult to sue and prevail on this. Airlines have the tight to refuse to serve, the plaintiff would have to show that they violated some federal law on protected classes. "It's not fair" is insufficient in this case.
