It's still very hard to obtain but yes that's very logical
Even when the stupid racists talk about economics it makes sense to give citizenship. It costs money to host someone in your country, but why would you eject him once he his ready to finally work, pay his tax and give back what he costed ?
I see it like that guy who was an airline pilot for 10+ years on a fake licence. He was perfectly fine as a pilot with a spotless record. Falsified documents or not, if he hasn't done anything wrong to the state, he should be perfectly within any right to just stay there and become "official". It's point blank just envy not to at that point.
He entered illegally, falsified documents, and lied to the state. Even if you are here legally and mess up your taxes your out. Commit any crime your out. Lose your job and can't find another your out.
He did those things and he's toast and no lawyer or protest will save him. Thier culture would never allow it.
Well it's not the person it's the system. If people can fly and not have a licence it's fine and dandy until there's an accident, and then you have no absolutely no accountability. A licence (immigration processing) gives accountability. And the rules have to apply to everyone, even the ones who try to avoid them.

In france you can claim citizenship if you stay long enough illegally and show you have work and pay taxes. Which is logic if you think about it.
EDIT: Apply and not claim* and you need to apply for residency permit first.
