In all airports that I’ve been through (all in Europe), the scanners for people + their carry-on luggage are from the customs agency, so from the government. They won’t check or enforce any airline weight limits there. The airline may still ask to check the weight of carry-on luggage at the gate, but I’ve never seen it as an automated process, only as spot checks.
Cabin bags have a weight limit too
Cabin bags have a size limit, but I’ve never seen one weighed.
I always assumed they were weighed going through the scanner.

Hmm, perhaps. Good point, but I’ve flown enough that I should have seen someone flagged for overweight bags.
