Delta being more generous on upgrades at window?

In general I wonder if Delta is being more generous on upgrades at window?

I had 3 great surprises this week getting upgrades at the window or shortly after for all three flights this upcoming weekend.

To preface. I know it's a holiday weekend. Saturday departure for me. Less medallion travelers sure but I imagine most flights are full with holiday travelers so i'm surprised at what happened.

here are the details.

JFK-AUS 5/26 morning flight. 3 people were upgraded at window on 5/21. After this there were 3 F seats available. At ~3am on 5/22 my upgrade cleared leaving 2 F seats available. At 4-5 days before flight I am surprised delta did not hold back more seats for FCM.

AUS-ATL-EWR 5/27. Same thing happened. I upgraded at the window for both flights again leaving 2 or 3 seats available in F.

What is going on Delta? And thank you.
