You make my point very well Phx.. some of the reasons people want to know may relate to comfort.. choosing your seat or cabin class or wanting to sit next to someone or might be more important, relating to connecting to other carriers or cruise ships, etc. My argument is that it would cost Delta nothing to provide the advice and they are out of step with many others in the industry by not doing this. I strongly suspect that the reasons are more commercial and have little to do with fears of "spamming".
I doubt it will generate calls for a 5 minute change. But even if it did, then it is Delta's own fault for producing such crap schedules that they generate this many changes. Maybe it would concentrate their minds and make them produce schedules which are real, how about that revolutionary idea?
Let's be clear.. I am simply saying that Delta run their airline the way others do.. not better, just the same. Let me suggest carriers such as Singapore Airlines, Qantas, BA, Cathay Pacific and Lufthansa as models.
