Since you generalize...same could be said via miles. As with one long MR, you could get the first level of elite status (or very close depending on how good you are at MRs).
If you're actually saying "it's too easy" to get to 1K status via segments, you have very flawed logic. 100 segments = 1 flight / week (2 weeks off for std vacation). Flying EVERY week, it should actually be less segments to obtain the various levels.
