Airlines in the United States are now required to give passengers cash refunds if their flight is significantly delayed or canceled, even if that person does not explicitly ask for a refund.

It's amazing that they had to make an official rule for this to occur.

So if you got the deal of a lifetime on a flight and it’s delayed, they refund you what you paid for it and make you pay current rates for the next flight out?

exactly.

and since there was likely a reason for taking that flight, you'll be paying the last minute rate which is the highest.

I believe this paragraph covers the circumstance you are talking about: “ The new rule mandates that refunds are automatically processed by an airline if a passenger's flight is "canceled or significantly changed, and they do not accept the significantly changed flight, rebooking on an alternative flight, or alternative compensation."”
