What does main mean on Delta?

The in-flight experience is no different for main cabin ticket holders than it is for basic economy flyers. You get the same food and beverages and you have access to the same in-flight entertainment. However, if you want the option to choose or upgrade your seat, you'll need a main cabin ticket.
