I wonder if this is a general phenomenon with Delta's codeshare partners: I flew on a KLM 747-400 that looked like it came right out of the 1990s a couple of years ago. I think they've retired it since, but it was very surprising to step onto.

The 747-400 was retired not long after you flew it, I think KLM was the last airline flying passenger flights on the type and they retired it in early 2020. In general if it's getting retired soon (or primarily being used on not-so-profitable routes) it's unlikely to get any interior updates. In fact United's 747s were pretty ratty by the end (not that United is known for having nice interiors).

Lufthansa is still flying the 747-400 with passengers today (and other 747 models).

They’re also still flying the A380 and A340.

And the first class on both of those planes is amazing.

KLM have fairly new aircraft, on average.
