Interesting question.

I think no, not everyone should become a senior developer. Senior developer is not just a regular developer with added years of experience and changed job title. It should bring a switch in responsibilities and ways to think about the whole codebase. One very important part of being a senior developer it tutoring other developers - and it's not for everyone, just like founding your own startup is not for everyone (yet by some people it's considered o natural next step in developer's career path).
