Why did Vietnam Airlines reduce the total allowable cabin baggage weight from 12kg to 10kg? Is it for safety, aircraft load optimization, or alignment with international standards?

Vietnam Airlines has adjusted its cabin baggage allowance from 12kg to 10kg to align with SkyTeam member airlines and other carriers that operate under the piece concept. This also helps optimize the aircraft's load.
