As you are probably aware delta reserve only lets you use centurion lounges if you fly delta and AU is $175 each
I bet most of the customers in the centurion lounges are and will continue to be platinums and their AU’s at $ 175 for 3 cards
There is no airline restriction with plat and centurion lounges which gives it a leg up on the delta reserve card
