Am I the only one that thinks it is ridiculous that instruments like guitars are considered to be carry ons?

I would never check a guitar on an airplane. The videos below are actually a big part of why they are allowed as carry-ons now.

I travel with this guitar:

https://travelerguitar.com/products/speedster-wine-red

It fits easily behind my briefcase bag, taking up almost no extra space. But for a gigging musician that is usually not an option. If the airline doesn’t have room in the closet up front, the overhead bin is the only other safe option.

I do not own an expensive musical instrument, but if I did, I would not want to check it, so I don’t begrudge people who do. There are much worse annoyances on airplanes than that

Wooden instruments also don’t deal with temperature changes well. Was forced to check my violin once (hard case, lots of padding) and it came back with a snapped string and warped bow

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
