This is a very simple way to prevent a flight being full of animals. Personally for larger a/c I think 2 is a bit restrictive, but I could see no more than 4 or 5 pets being allowed on any particular flight, and I could also see requiring pet owners to agree to being reseated if someone near them has an allergy (that the reseating should happen to the pet owner not the allergy sufferer).
I believe you are correct, but doesn't that just prove my point even further? If the Pet fee was really to make money, why would they limit the number of pets?
If DL saw Pets in Cabin as a way to make money, they'd lower the price and remove the restrictions on the numbers.
DL purposely makes it difficult, expensive, and cumbersome to bring a pet in cabin...the exact opposite of what you'd do if you were trying to make it a money making venture.
It's not meant to make money, it's entirely to discourage people from bringing their pets unnecessarily.
