As several people posted earlier, this is most likely not about revenue. It is not even a published change.
Of course it's all about revenue: You wanna give those who cough up higher fares a nicer experience on LH and that includes upgrades. If you don't have status but book an ueber-expensive Y ticket last minute and get an upgrade: Are you likely to pick LH again if you have to book such a ticket?
