That's really annoying, since we bought new carryon luggage last year which is 22x14x9 inches (i.e. 1 inch, 0.5 inch, and 1.5 inches too large in each dimension, respectively). The 22 and 14 dimensions might be fakeable, but the 9 inch dimension is definitely not.
Also, that is a massive volume reduction, which will make carryon impractical for many and will vastly increase the profits the airlines get from checked bag fees. It's win-win for the airlines and the bag makers. Lose-lose for the rest of us poor suckers.
