It might make more sense if you look at the 5% vs 50% not as requirements, but as benchmarks. The 'goal' of 3D is for an entity to gain enough awareness, self-control, and mastery over their reactions to their environment to concretely choose a polarity and then actively take strides towards it. Self-actualization is the point of the exercise; the resulting polarity is more like a byproduct of complex internal mental\spiritual changes.
(Much like how adolescence is largely an interior chemical process that also produces a few very obvious external changes.)
It just so happens that on Earth, due to various social\political\environmental structures in place, it's roughly as difficult for an entity that's choosing the positive path to hit the 50% mark as it is for a negative to hit the 5% mark. I don't think there's any particular cosmic significance to these numbers. I think they're largely happenstance in the same basic way that the 32F freezing point of water just happens to arise due to environmental and atmospheric conditions.
And in the case of negatives, I'd say it's not so much a case as "doing service" but more a measurement of just how self-focused they are. To a certain extent, merely having regard for others is a service, if a very mild one. Even having a trusted adviser could, for example, hold a heavily-negative person back from polarization, because just taking advice (much less being grateful for it) from others is a fundamentally positive act. A negative's belief that their self is the ONLY thing that matters must be nearly absolute.
Plus, 100% polarity in either direction is probably impossible in 3D, so it really is just a matter of degree either way.
