You know that none of the others offer this to their comparable elites, right??

It is absolutely not a fraud. I've communicated personally with JetBlue's Director of Loyalty and she confirmed that it is real.

This is a way for JetBlue to control the supply of Mosaic status, but since Mosaic offers so few ongoing tangible flight-experience benefits besides earlier boarding (e.g., no pgrades to EMS if available at check-in, etc.) I don't get why the throttle on the challenge is established where it is.
They're not limiting access to control the numbers. They don't care if every customer is working towards the challenge. The process of making it happen appears to be somewhat manual, hence the need for some time on the back-end to make it work, but they're not prohibiting people from signing up for the challenge.

No, they are not.
