I don't know about the points, but -
why not just buying business class?
BTW, if he wants to risk it he can always take advantage of the following offer:

He would better fly in F (which usually costs 1.5-2.5xC depending on the fare) and that way there is a good chance that the seat next to him will be free anyway...

Maybe they don't want people playing that game even more.

I think I know about your friend's query, I believe he also contacted us through FB. If it's who I think it is, he was explained by our representative why he can't earn miles/points for the extra seat (also, as you mentioned above, LY is not the only airline he won't be able to earn mile for that - besides the airlines you mentioned, AA does not give miles for that as well).
In any case, he wasn't happy with the answer he got and his query has been forwarded to the Matmid management.

So where do this points go?
why are there airlines that gives them and others not?
Here is a place that LY can be better then others.
I am sure that there not too many people that do it.
The guy is buying 5 C Class TKTs...
Ly will lose 700 points ?
