You're looking at peak business travel times/days (i.e. Monday morning, Thursday evening) out of hubs. Look at a Saturday morning flight 10 days out and I'd bet Comfort+ is half empty.
Should Delta optimize the number of Comfort+ seats so that they have no service failures at all (e.g. there's always a Comfort+ seat available when an eligible elite ones one) on peak flights? The result would be fewer seats available on planes and lost revenue for Delta.
