Carpacchio translated a little bit from the Spiegel on the new concept. Let me quote his post from 2019:

In my area of work, many people have to fly (premium) economy even on super-long haul routes. Many people in my network claim the second meal is insufficient considering you have a 9, 10, or 11 hour flight.
Assuming these are not isolated views, it seems Lufthansa's strategic response was either to reverse course, going back to a more substantial second meal, or to try something new. It seems they decided to try something new by offering BoB snacks to complement the complimentary meal service.
