Data point: You don't need 4 ~ to be comped WP

A family member has also been a long time WP however was extremely short on SCs in their membership year for medical reasons.

They contacted QF who agreed to comp another year on compassionate grounds, however I thought the 4 segments were always a requirement. It appears that this is not the case as they only had 2.

Lots of forward bookings in F on EK with QF flight members may have also helped.

A bit of an understatement IMHO.

They said they factor in length of WP membership, revenue generated and forward bookings.

And with "lots of forward bookings in F" getting them almost all the way back to WP then it appears to be cheap loyalty.

I received comped WP based on no flights, no forward bookings, but around 10 years of WP, so was a nice guesture with very little downside to QF. As I had already moved to BAEC GGL.
