Lufthansa P class Question

Lufthansa P class on the Lufthansa web site shows:

"Mileage accrual * Available mileage: 0"

However on the United website it shows that P class = 100%

Does this mean that Lufthansa give no miles to their own members but 100% to Mileage Plus members?

That's really odd.

So when booking on a partner, just ignore the stated mileage on the partner website and check the UA Global Alliances pages?

I wonder if Lufthansa flyers set up UA accounts to collect their miles on these flights....

If LH P truly earns 0% of anything on M&M, I'd be pissed if I were an unsuspecting consumer buying paid business and getting zero for my purchase/loyalty.

I fully understand the rationale for some dirt cheap fares to earn next to nothing, but for any legit paid premium cabin fare (not upgraded or -UP fare), earning nothing is unacceptable.

I copied and pasted "Mileage accrual * Available mileage: 0" And the earn mileage icon is greyed out.
