Lots of organizations have Parquet data lakes and are considering switching to Delta Lake.
Converting a Parquet table to a Delta table is an in-place, cheap computation. You can just add the Delta Lake metadata to an existing Parquet table and then take advantage of transactions and other features. I don't think it's a meaningless comparison.

Iceberg is cool too.
