One of the issues is that lots of older people, such as my parents, aren’t exactly tech savvy and don’t use DL messenger, now have one fewer option to assist them. Moreover, they don’t have Medallion status. Part of the value of the SC is getting immediate when you need it.
In addition to your thoughts on older people, DL messenger in general is not great. I have never had a positive experience changing a flight or adjusting an itinerary in some way through the messenger. I just call now. I agree with your thoughts in general.
