RoyalWings @ KLM indeed get guaranteed reservations (at the full fare in a cabin at KLM's dicretion.)
SkyTeam Elite Plus member get guaranteed Y reservations on any SkyTeam airline (which includes AF, AZ and OK).
I'd say that with AF and KL, there are other major competitors out there offering the booking guarantee.
However, I understand LH's point in limiting the guarantee....
