As Americans say, it's a free country. But if they won't give you any financial compensation, why do you think that they would give you miles because of a delay in which LH was not at all involved?
Concerning the fact that LX had one free seat and "some pax" on standby, if all of them had been there before you, why should they have added you to the list of standby passengers with only one free seat? By the way, these other pax could also have had their UA flights delayed, having been previously booked on a LH flight to DUS
