Eh, you're not allowed to use the extra tools without consensus from the rest of the community, so end of day you don't really gain much, and you can do pretty much everything without them. (By way of experiment: one particular admin had their admin bit disabled and it took people a over a year to notice that they'd done so.) Personally I still think 90% of the regular editors should have the tools anyway, but people kept inflating the requirements, or actually rejecting admins on the basis of "we have too many already" As tomodachi94 points out, being a wiki admin ideally should not be a big deal. It just sort of became that way on English Wikipedia, unfortunately.
