Growth for it's own sake shouldn't be a goal, yes.
But if growth furthers the mission of the charity, which it may well do depending on that mission, then absolutely it should at least consider it.
From the outside as a donor/supporter of that charity and mission, the logical thing for me to care about is how efficiently they can deliver, and are they getting better or worse at that. Which is why you have charity efficiency ratings. Those are hardly perfect, but that's what is important, not some limited information opinions on salary.
If they are doing a good job at it, they are demonstrably in a better position to judge how than you or I am; or almost anyone outside their area.
