Delta Comfort+
Is there a way to upgrade to a Delta Comfort+ seat for just the seat or do you have to get all the extra stuff? I don't drink alcohol so the premium beverages don't matter to me, and I'll be checking a bag so priority boarding isn't that big of a deal. I just want the extra legroom similar to MCE on AA or E+ on UA.

Would the OP expect to be able to purchase a special business class fare that excludes wine? How about promising not to put the seat into the flat bed position: does that deserve a discount?

Looks like the OPs question has been answered. No need to be so condescending.

Delta is trying to create the illusion that C+ is a separate cabin, so they are only selling a full bundle of services (food and drink, boarding priority/bin space, extra legroom) together. That's a business decision, but you could easily imagine flight attendants having a manifest of some subset of the passengers who are entitled to a free drink onboard instead. (In fact, that's precisely how AS offers the free drink benefit to MVPG passengers.)

But DL can't manage to offer a free drink and snack to DMs in coach, the way AA and some other airlines do for their top tier elites.

Every airline seems to do this differently. AA offers the priority boarding and a checked bag as one upgrade and the extra legroom as another. UA offers several different variations up to a package with full premier access, club passes, 2 checked bags, E+ seating, etc.
