Delta MQMs have zero value for booking flights. Instead, they're all about building Delta status. Unlike SkyMiles, you earn MQMs based on the actual distance flown. You generally earn 1 MQM for every mile you fly with Delta, but first-class flyers earn up to 2 MQMs per actual mile flown.

Upgraded tickets are eligible for additional mileage, MQM (Medallion® Qualification Miles) and MQD accruals, due to the selection of Delta Comfort+™ or First Class/Delta One and associated fare classes, and the increase in base fare or carrier imposed surcharges paid in connection with your upgrade.

So Delta's highest public loyalty tier is in the neighborhood of only . 02% of their flyers. But by flying at least an order of magnitude more than everybody else, we use up 2-3% of their seat miles. So on any given plane you'd expect an average of 0-9 Diamonds, to a first approximation.
