So no, under the rule of the Strongest, Kakashi would never have become Hokage. Strong people have more chances to prove themselves and can more easily prove themselves. Hence, the Kage tends to be the strongest. But Bee is more powerful than the 4th Raikage and he's not a Raikage himself.

In the end, what it boils down to is leadership.
