It's not really fair to say that higher population necessarily makes playing blob easier or harder in my opinion. Some of the easiest blob rounds I've played have been when there's been a lot of people on the station just rushing me and dying, giving me lots and lots of EVO points. I also consistently see blobs getting stomped during relatively lowpop rounds as well as it's usually a small group of people who know blob weaknesses and how to exploit them that kill the blobs quickly.
I think it's ingrained in the way blob is designed. It's weak to a few things that lone players can do and if you don't follow a very specific and rigid series of guidelines early (such as deciding where to spawn or what upgrades to take) you won't do very well. Most people who play blob don't have the info to know what a good spawn is or what upgrades are basically mandatory or what buildings to build where so they die very quickly.
Having more blobs during very highpop times makes sense but I think the primary issues that blob has would still remain and rounds would be basically the same they are now: The blobs either die very early as everyone who knows how to fight blobs gears up to kill them to get the round over with or the blobs know the "meta" of blob and do very well.
