Can see that- but AS does have decent coverage to Hawaii for SJC/OAK to all the outlying islands with daily service to all major islands. (It drops to alternating days for LIH & KOA this summer but still decent nonstop coverage)
With Australia & Asia I can understand DL wanting its own feed.

It gets the foot in the door- but really there's better less served routes they could have selected. SJC-SFO would have been fun
