System technical restrictions were probably a factor. There are a couple of times in Birth by Sleep where crowds have attention drawn to them despite not appearing at all. Both times occur in Terra's story, first in Castle of Dreams where the the Grand Duke laments the interruption Symphony Master put to the evening ("Thank you. You saved us all. *Ughh* The guests were just starting to enjoy themselves..."), and then in Olympus Coliseum when Zack is bolstering Terra's confidence by pointing out the cheers of the invisible spectators.  The only NCPs are either directly story related or characters from the Disney properties the worlds are based on. It was made for the PSP though, and even some of the game mechanics have a notable time delay like D-linking or even just loading between scenes and going to other worlds.

Dream Drop Distance is also struck by this. It's not so noticeable in some worlds because the storyline doesn't ask for non-story NCPs to appear (Monstro, Symphony of Sorcery) but when the Hunchback of Notre Dame world replicates the "Sanctuary!" scene the lack of anyone is jarring. Country of the Musketeers has an unexpectedly low population with just Micky, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Pete and the Beagle Boys. Again, it was made for a portable system and at least the dialogue doesn't refer to people who aren't there.
