No other airlines has made that move for its own members but can't say for sure if others will or won't follow. UA's United Club had eliminated shower access within domestic airport lounges, while offering upgraded Polaris Lounge for International Premium passengers with shower and increased food options.

Since I'm flying mostly Alaska these days I guess it won't matter, but the option is sure nice. I hope Alaska doesn't follow Delta in this regard, and require flying on AS flights for lounge access. For several years I have purchased a Sky Club membership and carried the AMEX Plat card, with these redundant benefits. Now, I have no reason to purchase the Sky Club membership.
