Interesting point. SW would have to answer. It’s just a guess on my part, but I don’t imagine the numbers would change much. Boarding would be faster even if the numbers didn’t change at all. Maybe priority boarding for light travelers would only be on full or close to full flights.

By “priority” I don’t mean ahead of A1-A15. But let’s say there are some A1-A15 unsold. How about giving those to carryonless passengers on a First come, first served or “lottery” basis? It wouldn’t take much to have an impact on behavior. No one expects too much, just some recognition would be nice, and effective. SW can figure it out.

Here’s an idea: Why doesn’t SW give priority boarding to people who don’t have carryons? I ALWAYS check my bag and board with maybe a book. I have to wait in the aisle as people stop to jam their oversized bag in the rows near the front. Meanwhile, the SW staff are begging people to check bags on a full flight and even have to cut off carryons at some point. Why not incentivize people to do as I do and let us board in a priority class?
