So it may be that my correct response to Delta is "thank you for telling me to get lost."
But the end of rollover MQMs, and the switch to "everything MQDs", means I'm taking my credit card spending elsewhere. Between us my wife and I have about 900k SkyPesos. Starting in 2025 we'll use those for the upgrades on Delta, when we fly Delta. But starting in 2024, or to a certain extent starting now, the CC spend is going to Chase, not AmEx. With the Chase Sapphire / Freedom combo I can do my travel booking there.
Keep one cheap DL Amex so you can get the 15% discount as you deplete your 900k RDM balance.
