It's largely the consumer's fault.
People demand low flight prices but that results in losses. To help make it up, they overbook and hope people won't make it. If they do they pay out a bit - but I'd imagine the model accommodates that.
Every ticketed service would have the same problem if that were true. But only airlines deliberately set up a system where overbooking is made easy (but not revealed to the customer at purchase, and only shown shortly before departure!). And they routinely try to sell more seats than they have available.
It's a cash grab, pure and simple.
It will always happen unless the practice is banned, or the airlines with the lowest margins all go bust.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
My understanding is that the four aircrew only showed up at the gate at the last moment after everybody else had been seated.
