Does bought duty-free count towards cabin luggage allowance?

It varies per airline and might change over time. Keeping some kind of updated list here will be impossible so I will just give two examples to prove it.

Finnair:

Please note that any items you purchase at the airport, including tax-free products, are counted as part of your carry-on baggage allowance.

SAS

In addition you can bring duty-free bags and airport purchases in the cabin along with your cabin baggage.

Even though many airlines are relatively lenient when it comes to enforcement of hand luggage limitations, there are usually no exemptions for items bought duty free.

Anything else would have been pretty odd. The restrictions are in place, simply because there is limited room for luggage in the flight cabin and the flight cabin does not get more room for luggage just because some of it is bought in a tax free shop.
