Admins make decisions which affect the whole Wikipedia. Replace 'contains a Z' with 'contains a BADSITE' or 'has a spoiler warning' or any other global change.
Some admins make those decisions. Not all admins are on Wikipedia every waking hour, participating in every crisis, dispute, etc.
The problem with our decision-making across the board is that it involves generally just a handful of editors who happen to be around (lets face it, for major issues even an order of a hundred is not necessarily representative - but we may be talking even just half a dozen!). There are even rules to stop people spreading the word about discussions/disputes underway! Why does anyone consider this a sane modus operandi?
