Everything in Aviation is weight limited. Nothing is unlimited in that regard.
(Mental note - to both of us - try to stay away from absolutes.) You're right, I shouldn't have stated that there are no weight limits on carryons...I'm sure there are airlines like the one you referenced which have them. I've even flown on smaller airlines which weigh each passenger to get an even distribution of weight. However, I just flew JetBlue which has no weight limit on their carryons (just confirmed by checking their website). Size restrictions, yes, so they probably budget an assumed weight based on the maximum volume (and simply reap the weight benefits for those under that assumed weight).
Either way, the spirit of my original comment holds true - I've found it's fairly easy to butt up against the weight limit for checked bags but less likely to get there with the much smaller carryon or personal item.
