For the cost of my ticket, I expect my bag to get there when I do, no further changes required.
No. That was the previous deal, the deal has been altered. You now have to pay an extra fee to ensure the bag gets to its destination, otherwise you roll the dice.
This doesn’t mean I condone the industry habits.
You enabled industry habits. Its the same reason why tipping in restaurants still exists, because people pay it. If the majority of people decided not to, then the culture of tipping would die out.
technically subverted airport policy to specifically retrieve my bag. I appreciated him going out of his way, and possibly even carrying some risk for my benefit,
This is enabling. Nothing has fundamentally changed with the current system, and there has been no feedback to the industry. So it will remain as it is.
When did I try to change the industry by interacting with the airPORT employee? I provided feedback via stern conversation with the airline rep, whatever little/nothing that does. I also strictly do not check a bag any more, so am no longer within that cost cycle.
The airPORT employee is not in the cycle you are inventing in your head. He is entirely separate from it, and benefits nothing at all from the airLINE practices.
The airPORT employee operated without any assumption of reward beyond a “thanks”, so his actions were free of financial feedback, because they were decided prior to knowledge of monetary incentive. Further the airLINE is not aware of, and did not profit from his action, so my tip did not 'enable" their practices, as the only information they digested from the exchange is my criticism of their failure.
Read the room dude, you don’t always have to agree with the crowd, but you’re obviously wrong on this one, and I’m all done talking to you

Ah, true, I didn’t see that before. I should have just read what you wrote.
