I can't see what's wrong with that. There isn't the slightest entitlement to become an admin. Anyone who has more than 15000 edits or so is likely to get asked whether they want to be nominated. That's about the size of it.
How many admins do we want? We have 800. Do we want 2000? Or do we want 200?
I suspect that until we can answer that question, most of our discussion on how hard it should be to become an admin is actually fairly pointless. Why? Because ultimately, if adminship is not to be a "reward for hard work", then it should be bestowed upon the top X% of the population, rather than every editor who has done good. And we don't know what X is.
