Since he obviously said nothing about illness the only other conclusion is that he never intended to fly.

And once again, procedural law. If LH pleaded that he never intended to fly and derives at such conclusion based on a set of facts (rebooked 35 times, changed 35 times while being at the airport last minute, never intended to got to Zurich) and the defendant fails in doing both, explaing such behaviour and contesting LH's allegation, then the court will rightfully accept this as given facts.
So the bar has been set at 35 rebookings/visits. What if someone does this 34 times? 30 times? 20 times? 10 times? 5 times? Etc.

What happens when LH sues someone who rebooks 35 times without using the lounge on basis that rebooking costs LH money?

Nice can of worms,,
