It'd be a sad day if Wikipedia were complete, but even so, I don't think that FA should be a goal for any or every article. The goal should be to get every article to FA quality; whether it's been featured or not is rather irrelevant in the long run.
Maybe my terminology is confused. As I understood "featured article" means, having passed the certification, and being listed in the appropriate place. There's not much difference between that and an article that is "FA quality", is there? So, getting articles to FA quality (or getting them "featured") should certainly be the goal of every article, except possibly lists, redirects etc.
Of course, the issue of whether the articles appear on the front page is totally separate.
