That is why this is so diabolically effective. To book the ticket they need your real id, quickly correlated across the hundreds of brokers willing to sell your data. I bet they have a partnership with Visa and Amex.
Currently that data is entered long after they display price information.
The article notes that they might require you to be logged in to your DeltaAir account to see the (good?) prices for routes.
I’m curious what this will do to route planning tools, resellers and travel agents. Ones I can think of would be Booking.com or Kayak — you couldn’t even see price info? That would be a radical change.
