And yes the dealer does make an enormous effort to lose when you bet low(hits even above 16), but that doesn't seem to be the case at higher bets. From the limited games I've played, when I bet 1, I win about 40-50% of the time, when I bet higher(especially near 100) that drops drastically. You can slow grind it I suppose, but most people don't enjoy gambling or don't like wasting huge amounts of time. I've no idea why they switched up from a skill-based games to luck-based ones... maybe some of them were pretty bad, but all you won were costumes so it was fine. Now you get diamonds and compete, which can make people more competitive, but that can be exploited too. While I'm not accusing them, I don't see why they wouldn't do it.
Because it does not make sense to simplify rules in player favor (let dealer continue after player busts) and then add some hidden mechanics that are rather complicated to implement. If they just wanted to win against players, they could have used normal rules and everything would be perfect - players with basic strategy lose 1% to casino on average according to wiki, players that deviate from that strategy lose even more. By changing rules they allowed players who follow the strategy to win on average, so why invest money in developing something extra to take it back?

You experience observation bias. Try getting to 200 while playing with 1 chip bet and notice the lowest value that you get to. It will take you ages and sometimes you will drop to 70 or even less. Maybe you will even lose all 100 chips eventually depending on your strategy. Dropping to 70 means that you would have lost 3000 on 100 chip bets and because you don't play with 100*100=10000 initial chips each lose on that try is much more noticable than on 1 chip bets try, that's why it feels like it is much easier to win on small bets (because loses are less noticable).
