Are you saying that a _declining_ number of administrators means a _growth_ in bureaucracy? It would normally mean the opposite, either a loss of control, or that the ordinary members were taking the function upon themselves. What I see is a greater degree of control and uniformity, not driven by those in formal positions of authority.

What are the likely results of a dwindling number of admins, and a growing wikigeneration gap between admins and other editors?
Well, they're not dwindling since admin rights don't get taken away on inactivity. ;-) But to the general question, because the standard

of a candidate for RfA has gone up over the years?
