Delta support said to me after I posted this thread, economy tickets do not receive boarding passes on the app without first visiting the ticket counter, kiosk, or gate agent.
That's not true. You can't get a boarding pass until you have a seat assignment. You'll only have a seat assignment at the gate if you checkin online without a seat.
