You will have two pops once you reach 2 million, then you have another pop. Say one pop is simulated by the number 1 million people of species x, then that number will rise continously. Pop growth of a population needs to be calculated for every species and sub species separately and parallel, like in the old system. To simulate real pop growth and then have „pure species pops“ coming out of it, you need a very complicated system. Solution? I’d love to say it’s easy, but it’s not. What, then, is a solution? The pop system is necessary for the game and its diverse species but fails to adapt to the reality of normal population growth mechanics. That is illogical, but supported by the growth formula that supports lower-in-number pops to be grown. In fact, after you have immigrants, your original pops often basically stop growing in numbers. It results in very illogical developments, like that your main population should have the most frequent absolute pop growth (because of their base mass). It’s the game’s limitation on pops causing this and that is ultimately the problem. Makes your population incredibly diverse for no logical reason, because you only have one „growing“ spot. „especially for planets where they have low habitability (that should only be done as a player choice)“

„adjusting how pops are chosen for growth“

Seems a little bit more down-to-earth from the first glance but if you read his twitter from time to time he definitely also has a VISION.
