Arguably, it is implied by “the purpose of segmentation is not to make life easier for you”. In the present case, the segmentation not only makes it easier, it makes the run possible at all in the first place.

I don't agree with that; in context, "the purpose of segmentation is not to make life easier for you" is a warning that it takes more time to create a competitive segmented run than it does to create a competitive single-segment run.
