The way I see it: you are burning a 3rd level spell slot and your reaction just to have a chance of blocking the enemy's Power Word Kill or Disintegrate or whatever. So it feels fair to me. Sure, it will automatically succeed against lower-level spells, but odds are you are going to run out of 3rd level slots long before they run out of all 1st-3rd level slots.
If I felt that Counterspell was too powerful or unfair, I'd argue that Legendary Resistance is even moreso. But I don't.
