DL probably loves these members. They provide DL a lot of revenue via the CC spend but consume almost no benefits despite their status. And this isn’t that dissimilar to AA where you could spend your way to EXP without setting foot on a plane. And on UA you could hit 1K with enough spend on one ticket (perhaps a full J fare to Australia or something similar).
