They do in Europe. It’s annoying. I had to rearrange stuff amongst four carry-ons while standing in front of the check-in counter because one of them was too heavy. It would have all evened out and they knew that because they weighed all of them, but they still made me do it.
Considering how many aviation disasters are a result of incorrectly weighing passengers and luggage, in addition to incorrect weight distribution, I can understand the caution
Okay that’s fair, I hadn’t really considered distribution on a plane. Still a bit silly when my carry-on was going to end up right next to my kid’s much lighter carry-on in the overhead bin, but whatever! I also know that policy is easy to lean on when consistently enforced. I did it in any case, even if I grumbled about it. (I was still nice to the agents though!)
At the risk of sounding like an ad, the “Elala Pro Rideable Carry-On” is 21.3 x 9.1 x 20.5 inches
Edit: the one in the larger top image is the “Master” model at 24.5 x 11.1 x 23.3 inches
It’s technically a little wide but the carryon I use is technically wider than allowed and they don’t care unless you’re in the last boarding groups of a full flight
FWIW I’ve never had my carry-on weighed

The thing in the image is too big to be a carry on
