[quote=PHXFlyer;12004] Southwest can argue "hey, you chose us for the free bags so you'll egt them when we're good and ready to deliver them!" quote]

If a merchant offers something "free" as an incentive to the customer to enter the contract, that thing is not "free" at all, but part of what the customer is entitled to, and in the case of free bags is entitled to have them delivered in a timely manner.

To decide if it is really free, just go to a SW counter with a bag if you are not traveling with them and ask them to take it "free" to a point where they fly and see if they will take it free even if there's room on the flight. Those free bags, free drinks and in some cases free snacks and meals are what the customer pays for.
