It doesn’t hurt anyone to have a discussion

True.
So, my ELI5 answer is, many reincarnation religions hold that you won't always be reborn as a hunan. So the explanation could be that the increase in human population is an indicator of the continual improvement of the souls as they become humans.
It could also be an indicator of fewer and fewer people reaching Nirvana and ending the reincarnation cycle.
It just comes down to what do you want to believe? In truth, if you want to belive in reincarnation, in one form of another, just make up whatever explanation satisfies your intellectuals needs.
