For many people, air travel is fungible. If Delta wants to charge me higher prices, I’ll choose a different airline.

I feel like this is only gonna impact people that spend points or purchase flights directly on their platform and not people that are price shopping

My experience has been that purchasing airline tickets, hotels, etc non direct always carries a risk of some sort of problem. So I tend to go directly.

Many 3rd party sites tend to be their own scam IMO.

Fair. I believe some OTA is like Google flights enable you to price shop but still buy direct

Sure but a lot of people use 3rd party sites for price discovery and then book direct,and of the direct purchase is consistently dramatically more they'll likely mentally blacklist that airline.
