Did you challenge their measurement? Seems like the obvious thing to do, no?
You initially claimed that Allegiant has a policy of enforcing the carry-on limits on return flights, but not on outbound flights. You wrote "I think they purposly don't measure the bag on the outbound flight to snag you on the return when you have no other options." It seems you've abandoned that claim.
Which you should.

2. So you're abandoning your "Allegiant purposefully screws us on the return-leg" conspiracy theory?

Allegiant is clearly purposefully screwing people and has attempted to purposefully screw people in the past. Examples include their near refusal to include the cost of taxes and fees in their initial web site pricing and the way their web site works to hide additional charges. When we landed in Fresno and I was waiting for my bag, there were no fewer than 5 people around me proclaiming that they would never fly Allegiant again....and all different reasons.

3. Why do you think it was Allegiant's obligation to measure your carry-on at the check-in counter? No airline does that. Those folks concern themselves with checked baggage, not carry-on bags.

Wow, okay, I've never experienced that, I take back my statement then. I fly a lot, yet I've never seen a check-in counter employee measure an unchecked bags that the passenger intends to carry onboard.
And now you're asking us to believe that the "idiot" used a measuring tape on your bag and found it too long? And you said nothing? You didn't ask to see the measurement?
Hmmm....
I've never flown Allegiant. But I know enough about them that I'd be prepared when I showed up at the airport, because their business model is to find ways to squeeze additional fees out of people. I'd know how big my carry-on was, and would be prepared to challenge their measurement, because Allegiant and Spirit are airlines that really target checked bags as profit points.
At a minimum, I'd at least want to measure for myself, something you apparently didn't do.
I'm prepared to believe that an Allegiant employee could suck at measuring, that could be true. But I'm not prepared to believe that Allegiant supplies employees with fake measuring tapes.
