I'm not sure what you mean
An awful lot of money was spent on systems to track and profile fliers. It’s the reason TSA Precheck is a thing at all.
I still can’t see the point you are trying to make

Isn't that the case today? They're loading the baggage while people board and they don't hold the bag until you get your ticket scanned in.
I've always had the impression that they don't start loading the bags until after the gate is closed.
I'm pretty sure that they are loading before the gates open. If my memory isn't entirely gone, I recall watching them load luggage while waiting at the gate for the cleaners to finish.

If the owner of a bag does not board the bag is removed.
I've never heard of this happening, and I'm skeptical. I fly a decent amount and my luggage gets misplaced likely in the low percents (more than 1%, less than 5%). I struggle to believe they'll be aware enough to unload a full cargo compartment. But I could be wrong. Maybe it's just rare enough that I haven't run into it. I would expect it would delay the flight by a noticeable amount. And it would be fairly obvious…
I'm had this happen. It is rare.
