I'd be very surprised to see any airline restrict the use of a medical device onboard. The manual that came with mine states that airlines are required to let you use it, and the manufacturer sells an airline-friendly battery pack. Do you have a link to Delta's policy on this?

My mistake, I was wrong. They allow use, but it has to have its own power supply https://www.delta.com/us/en/accessible-travel-services/assis...

This would seem to be because they don't want to be held to providing medical grade reliability of electricity to the seat.
