Oh, very apt! I think the highly developed American individualism is a fitting thing to bring up in this discussion. Good point about the luggage\food, which you need only in some cases.
I guess meticulously optimizing every aspect of the flight could be seen as a way of staying ahead of the curve and in this context not wanting to pay for someone else's baggage is understandable. If you do think of yourself as just an average "customer" (and majority of other does) then the costs will even out in the end.
