Well, that's my point too...implying DL is a poor partner for treating NW elites the same way NW treats DL elites doesn't seem fair. If so, then NW is a poor partner for DL because it doesn't have a policy to UG DL elites.

I'm in complete agreement with you there. However, based on my personal experience and other posts I've read, the problem doesn't seem to be that DL replaces FF#s for their convenience, rather that many agents don't seem to know how to completely erase a DL# and insert another FF# in its place. I'm not saying that's the way things should be, but there is a moral difference between a deliberate act and an unintentional screwup.
rashby's experience may be different, but we don't have details--how was the ticket purchased, for instance? As
mot29 points out, logging in to DL.com when you purchase a ticket automatically associates your DL# with the ticket.
