My view may be a bit simplistic. But I guess what it boils down to is that LH is not interested in strengthening its long-haul routes to North America. To the contrary, they'd be very happy if capacity on routes from DUS/STR/TXL to the US east coast is going down. But they surely don't want to give an opening to FR and U2 on the continent.
