I'm confused by your post...and I apologize if you already know what I'm saying here.

DL miles expire after 36 months, only if you haven't flown in that period. If you haven't flown DL in 35 months, then take a flight in the 36th month, your miles are safe for another 3 years.

AA announced they were dropping expiration, then UA did the same. UA 'upped the ante' by saying any type of transaction, not only taking a flight (First Card purchase, booking an award ticket with miles, upgrading with miles, etc) starts the 36 month clock over.

What DL may be doing is responding to what UA did with 'any transaction'.

You may want to re-read the article. Something doesn't sound right...
