This leads me to ask the question about which genera or species like to be
crowded and which do not.

Agapanthus only seem to flower once they've filled their pots to
bursting point.

Perhaps planting things more densely in pots gives "better drainage" -
there are more leaves to get rid of moisture - these days I aim to have
many bulb seedlings per pot.
