BS.
LH can operate 24/7, they are in business since many decades, considered one of the safest airlines.
They were on an IFR flightplan to SFO, and they asked for separation by the controller, which is THE fundamental task of the controller.
The controller was unwilling to do that, for whatever reason. That was not good show by the controller.
