It was all voluntary, but it was all due to IRROPS. If OP had done a SDC/SDS then yes Delta wouldn't be responsible to deliver. However that wasn't the case. They were on standby simply due to IRROPS and plane being sold out and unable to be confirmed. Heck the IRROPS rebooking tool will allow airport changes. Doesn't mean it wasn't an IRROPS rebooking.
