That’s because there is an extra layer of flight planning management through the Route Availability Document (RAD). While FRA theoretically allows airlines to fly between whichever points they want to, in reality they have to follow the rules set out in the RAD, meaning that sometimes the available paths mirror that of the preceding route structure.

It has free route within Lithuanian airspace, but the ‘open’ border with Poland is either not operational or not fully. This means you have to it is required to file a point on the border between Poland and Lithuania, while in the future only an entry point into Poland and an exit point in Lithuania (or beyond) will suffice.
