You can think that all you want, but I can show you a Star Alliance rule that says F passengers are entitled to access to
any F lounge at the airport of departure on a Star Alliance flight in F.
You will be unable to show me a rule that says carriers are allowed to provide another lounge for their own F passengers and exclude other Star Alliance F passengers.
Just because you like it that way doesn't mean it's right or comports with the rules.

Was it you who advised LH they could snub the Star Alliance rules and run a separate lounge despite what the rules say? Doesn't look like the printed rules mean much to you as long as you agree with the result.
