Minimum AC Flight Requirement - Why?

I'm curious why AC has a 5 segment/10,000 mile AC metal requirement for Altitude qualification. I know other airlines have it (UA, BA four segments each) and some don't (A3). What's in it for AC, and/or why do they bother? Is it to discourage UA flyers from picking up AC 50K for domestic US lounge access?
