Isn't 4k quite sedentary, though?

As far as I've understood it, the current research on steps per day in relation to longevity tries to map it towards the likelyhood of it naturally achieving the guideline of 150 minutes of moderate exercise - would you really be able to get 150 minutes of moderate exercise while only walking 4k steps a day?

I read a german article which says 4-5k steps is already a good improvment to reduce risk of high blood pressure or heart diseases. Yes, ofc it's better to do more movement but many people barely do 1-3k steps a day. 10k steps just sounds so hard to achieve for many people which is why it's not really a good advice.
