It all begins by finding your reference point. One cannot speak of "fairness" without stating the reference point... For a loyalty program, the standard of fairness has to be the T & C that members agreed to.
Which of course includes a clause that the program terms can be changed at anytime for any or no reason.

You seem to think 100 segments is easy... you've obviously never done it yourself.
In think it really depends on the person.... for me the long flights and a big time change are killers. I actually find a short flight of a couple of hours pretty relaxing even in E.
