Segments is a funny size, and requires some very specific flying patterns to achieve. I have been way above EBG segment requirements, but then always even further above points requirements. There is a group of people flying mainly domestic routes, or short European routes that qualify on segments, but I am not sure they would be worse off by revenue requirements.
In the case of FB you will be better of with the XP count for EU/intra Nordic travel.
36 segments for FB Gold.
45 segments for SK Gold.

My valuation of FBG vs. SKG with a intra EU flying pattern of deeply discounted Y.
FBG will win as they offer lounges on basically all outstations in Europe.

If you fly domestic FB will be worthless as the threshold for Gold will be 90 segment
