Probably because that way they won't need to build a row of check in desks
at the railway station. I doubt that AF are aiming this just at point to
point pax, they are also looking for transfer pax. So pax will check in at
the normal desk in BRU/AMS/DUS/CGN/FRA [1] for their flight to LAX via CDG
and then go 'downstairs' to catch the train for the first leg.
[1] Is there any other rail connected airports that makes sense?
