Or taking the train to MUC/FRA.

I don't think that it is an aversion but price related. If the fare is close to fares on more direct routes/more comfortable planes, then taking the more expensive but more comfortable route seems IMO to be the more clever pick.
I've been playing with the idea of pulling the trigger on this fare and ultimately decided against it. I have no use for the generated miles, repositioning would probably add a bit of money. And frankly I have not intention of sending my money to Saudi Arabia.
If it were OW/*A and not via Saudi Arabia, I'd probably would've booked by now. Flying a dry airline wouldn't bother me at all.
