Confusing/Misleading Delta Receipt Language re. Refundability

I just purchased a refundable delta ticket. Here is what the confirmation page says:
--
Departure Airport or City
SJC
To
Destination Airport or City
SLCDeparture date selected asFeb 2, 2024

OneWay , 1 Passenger

VIEW MY TRIP
Changeable / Refundable opens in new popup
--

Yet the receipt page includes this language:
--
NON-REFUNDABLE / CHANGE FEE
This ticket is non-refundable unless issued as a fully refundable fare. Any change to your itinerary may require payment of a change fee and increased fare. If you do not show up for any flight in your itinerary without notifying Delta or canceling/changing your flight prior to departure, Delta may cancel the reservation for all remaining flights in the itinerary, and the ticket will have no remaining value.

All Preferred, Delta Comfort+™, First Class, Delta Premium Select, and Delta One seat purchases are non-refundable.

Why can't Delta issue a receipt that unambiguously states that the fare is refundable instead of this convoluted wording saying that the fare is "non refundable unless issued as a fully refundable fare"?
