I almost hate to say this, but with the growing size and popularity of Wikipedia, we might need to start treating adminship truly as a big deal.
So what you're saying is: Too much privilege (and prestige) and not enough responsibility? How do we fix it?

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Admins have plenty of responsibility. There's a lot of work to be done. However, there needs to be a certain measure of accountability, and that candidates that go through RfA clearly need to show that they understand and will follow all the major policies of Wikipedia: Blocking, deletion, NPA, AGF and all that good stuff.
The only way I can see in fixing it is to be more stringent in RfA nominations
