It is a problem to choose the default.
No deltarpms is nowdays faster, with the download speeds people normally have. However, normal rpms is more expensive for the few people that are on a metered internet connection. It costs them money to change the default. Speed calculation changes for people with a slow internet, too.
The problem is that people are not aware that they can tune for speed vs small downloads.
I wasn't aware. Where can this be set?
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf: ## Whether to consider using a .delta.rpm when downloading a package ## ## Valid values: boolean ## Default value: true ## ## Using a delta rpm will decrease the download size for package updates ## since it does not contain all files of the package but only the binary ## diff of changed ones.
