That would be my guess also, as to why the legacy carriers don't operate freighters.
Yes, but there is still need for maindeck capacity between certain markets as well as some dangerous goods, prohibited on PAX flights.
As for LH Cargo, they need to make some major changes - abandoning their freighter services completely might not be a smart move.
Correct, still a need, but I would dare say it's not a need that will keep the legacy LH/AF/KL afloat.
