Firstly, it's an undeniable fact that the population rate in the world is growing at unprecedented levels. I'm also of the opinion that the universe always looks for a way to keep everything balanced because if population is left unchecked, it can cause some serious issues in the long run.
Sadly for humanity, the universe does not revolve around humanity. Humans are an insignificant part of time and space. Balance has to do with physics in cosmos, patterns and symmetries, and not with the population of our species on planet Earth. We are so vulnerable that we can be extinct in a few decades after a major catastrophe occurs.
