I think Delta has learned that people buy lottery tickets for the hope.
e.g., Diamond - "Hoping" for an upgrade when there are 1-2 seats and 69 on the list

Thought process over time is as follows - telling people not to buy lottery tickets never works

September 2023 Delta - No one is getting upgraded anyway, let us shrink the upgrade lists and empty the lounges

October 2023 Delta - Everyone is an Elite now - Plase don't leave us - we are very happy to add you to the upgrade list!
