It is a nice surprise to me!
I've had that happen as well, on a GPU'd IAD-MUC flight. I assumed it was due to the UC being pretty full; not that I really noticed much of an improvement in the GFL, other than serving your own booze. Still struck me as being underwhelming compared to some international basic lounges.
