This link says:
Zone 2: Main Cabin Passengers
Zone 3: Main Cabin Passengers booked in T, X and V fares
Zone 4: Basic Economy Passengers (E)
Would you prefer that the GA announce that everyone with a sLUT fare and lower is zone 3?
DL needs to divide those without status traveling on coach fares that aren't BE into more than one zone, so using fare class seems very reasonable.
