Delta has obligations to their passengers and similarly sidesteps screw ups with similar contractual provisions. How much would Delta owe for not following similar IT practices? Do they now owe customers for their IT failings? Should customers now get to sue Delta for damages related to their poor IT recovery compared to other airlines?

Sure but that’d be something passengers could bring up in a suit against Delta, not someone like CS, who themselves obviously skipped their own internal SDLC and whatever other ISO certs they prominently advertised on their website.

I assume the argument is that if they can show negligence in their IT practices, then the $500 million in damages can't be all attributed to CrowdStrike's failure.

Crowdstrike's discovery process would greatly aid in passenger or general-public suits against Delta.
