It's also a fairly new route and with LH continuing to use MUC for Asia travel it is a good feeder flight for UA.
If anything I could see AMS go before MUC.

IAH, of course, can fail in summer with the flooding and thunderstorms they get but these days are more rare than snow in the other hubs or fog in SFO.
LAX still offers the best operational environment weatherwise.
