Couldn't DB run the equivalent of an open-access operation, alongside a
renewed "franchise" for the UK Eurostar operations?

This is no franchise ....

ICRR sounds just like GNER running a franchise on the ECML.

not to me.

If not, what's the essential difference.

This is not a government contract with a private company, but a
contract between two private companies, where one charges the other to
do its work.

And ATOC does not list Eurostar as a franchise.
