Plus, if we're still arguing the logic, how exactly does symptomatic/asymptomatic make any kind of difference here? You fail to explain how I'm "completely wrong". Asymptomatic spread is what's made Covid overall so transmissible in the first place, it's not a feature particular to Delta.
The recipe for a successful virus is one that spreads easily. Viruses don't have any particular drive to kill (or even hurt) hosts. The less it hurts us the less we give a shit and the more we allow it to spread.
Just look at Covid now. If it didn't kill people we would never have put up any measures and everyone would've had it many times over already.
But from there if it were to mutate into a variant that starts hurting people, we would start putting measures in place to stop it. Evolution-wise that variant wouldn't do as well as the first one.
