It's for the safety of the people handling the luggage, not for the weight of the plane

Then how do you explain the 8kg weight limit for carry on? Who is endagered by 9kg luggage? And it's not even handled by the staff.

honestly I think they also just want an excuse to charge you extra, but the official reason is also safety, to prevent injury if a bag falls out of the overhead compartment during turbulence.

The overhead compartments have a weight limit because they must be designed to keep the stuff in there during an emergency.

No weight limit under the seat, though.

There is a bar or some device that is there to prevent your stuff from sliding forwards. I've not been crawling on the airplane floors enough to see any weight rating on it but I would bet money on it being crash tested and rated according to whatever the overhead compartments are.
