it can cause take-of delays, which can easily cascade and affect many flights. I presume these can easily cost cash, no?

It can in extreme cases, but based on totally unscientific observations, the number of flights delayed significantly because people spend too long time stowing their carry on is tiny. Even just looking a boarding related delays, I'd say people simply not showing up at the gate on time is a much bigger problem.
They just close the doors.
