We understand that you are angry at LH, because they charge you too much.
We really understand your frustration, however please do not compare good old KLM 'WBC' with F on Swiss or LH.
It is a ridiculous comparison, I crossed the Atlantic hundreds of times on AF/KL/NW/DL and LH/LX, so I should have enough flights for an objective comparison.
The current C on the 330 was already outdated when they introduced it ten years ago, it already felt really really antiquated a year or so later.
Some very successful companies were able to really stretch the PLC, Audi, Volkswagen, Lufthansa are good examples, but the current C cabin on the 330 really feels like flying on a carrier from the US, before they took a bong bath in the Chapter 11 ountain of Absolution.
