My mental model is different. I do think of the delimiter as "belonging" to the item it delimits. A return character belongs to the line it follows. A comma belongs to the item it follows. There is no requirement that a final delimiter be present, but if it is, it doesn't change the count.

When you think of it that way, it all falls into place.
