That's a no-brainer for anyone but the most price sensitive - and also a fare you'll never see on a nonstop to Europe from a Delta hub (rare far in advance very short fare sales with minimum stay requirements aside) for regular Y, much less PS.

Anything will sell at the right price.

Given the more favorable (read: oligopoly) market TATL, I expect that Delta is going to try to maintain pricing integrity on these seats. They'll yield over twice as high on Y OpUps on this route than the hyper-discounted fares they are selling TPAC.
