It is undoubtedly in everyone's best interest that jobs are allocated to the people who are most fit for them. However, it is not obvious that certain jobs should render the people who hold them more deserving in other regards. Certain jobs naturally come with greater influence, yes, but are people in these position also more deserving of for example social status, financial compensation, special treatment, etc.? The use of incentives to attract people to jobs that need them is a practical means of allocation, not necessarily a measure of how deserving the person who holds the job is.
