I actually think this feature is quite clever, probably proven to nudge users to cycle more therefore use the app more and reclaim “legend” status.
Before this feature it was all KOM / QOM or top 10 times on the day which probably only a very small amount of users were motivated by.
Focusing on number of segment rides rather then times must motivate a much wider user base.
Obviously repeatedly emailing to say you lost “legend” status is a bit shit.
