Question on purchase an open ticket

Hello,
when I was in BKK some days ago I wanted to buy an open ticket at the LH city office .
I wanted to buy an open ticket with no carrier mentioned e.g. yyBKK-SIN-FRA ; FRA-HAM and return yyHAM-FRA; FRA-SIN-BKK in F-class.
The girls there told me I cant buy it with LH at least the first segment must be booked e.g on LX to SIN , a booking of a FRA-HAM segment on LH for with dummy date is not possible.
They offered me a ticket in A-booking class which only works with LX, LH, OS flight No's.

Why is LH not selling a fully open ticket with my choice ofcarrier for the long haul out- and inbound where only a LH covered segment e.g. FRA-HAM is booked on LH with such a ticket?
