This quickly becomes an action economy question. Even if you go from 1 summon at 100% power to 10 summons at 10% power, I still have to focus on each one to kill them. I no longer have enough time or focus to deal with anything else going on in the battle. Beyond that, I can no longer use a big ability to take off a large chunk of your summon's health. In this case, it'd one-shot one of them, rather than taking 30% off the single summon. Depending on class, this starts causing me cooldown or resource trouble. This likely begins to explain why most games don't try to balance a horde of smaller summons.
