It was just weird how we had a more enjoyable B.E. experience (in terms of soft product & service) on the domestic flight versus the international one, which should have been the other way around.

My big question was: how do they decide what routes get the latest iterations (or fads) of equipment (such as lie flat seats, herringbone this or that, improved AVOD, etc.). I vaguely remember hearing that Frankfurt is also a premium (or highly competitive) destination. Maybe it's who Delta feels like they can compete with?

Noooo, I'm pretty well aware that Dasani comes from various municipal sources. But isn't Delta quite hand-in-hand with Coke, both being HQ'd in the same place and having signed contracts for providing Coke "products" like Seagrams for their flights? I was just impressed (either positively or negatively) that Delta decided to cater this Europe-bound flight with bottles of water from Ghana.
