Is it impossible to add a second checked bag on a Lufthansa flight ticket...

I read on https://www.lufthansa.com/fr/en/common/baggage-conditions.html : Adding additional baggage is not valid for: [...] flights offered or operated by airlines other than the Lufthansa Group. Does that mean it is impossible to add a second checked bag on a Lufthansa flight ticket that includes a non-Lufthansa leg? I am surprised by the blanket restriction so I wonder whether I missed something.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

I ended up calling Lufthansa (+33170489170 as the Bavarian accent is funnier to me in French than in English; didn't have any wait when I called) and the customer support told me that this is possible to purchase a second checked bag (at least, for my route), but the customer has to go to the airport to find out the price. It is too difficult for Lufthansa to know the price when the customer is not at the airport forced to buy a second bag regardless of the price.
