For me, the analogy is simple: just because you get a driver's license once doesn't entitle you to drive for the rest of your life.
Unless you actively do something wrong and get disqualified, yes it does. The analogy works for not letting banned editors vote, it doesn't work for not letting lapsed editors vote. (And there is the obvious flaw from the fact that we don't require people to take a test to edit.)
