How have they “basically shut the door” in new admins? There has been three new admins in the last three months and there is currently an ongoing request for adminship which has a 100% support rate

Maybe they were denied as a Wikipedia admin? lol

How is 3 in 3 months "basically shutting the door"? Plus it's going to be 4 in three months very soon (19 hours later)

Because it’s a 90% drop from the 2006 sysopping rate.

That doesn't mean they've "shut the door", especially when you consider how much Wikipedia activity has declined since 2006. To see if they've shut the door you should look at the overall RfA success rate, not quantity
