And perhaps “overwatered” in a sense that the medium won’t dry out last enough? Hope there are holes in the bottom of the cups!

Sure, lots of root mass & way to much container surface area to soil makes overwatering in small containers easy.

I meant explain what overwatering is... Sounds like you have the definition wrong.
Overwatering is continuously giving a plant water and keeping it wet. New growers tend to over love their plants and give water when it's not needed. They will water or even mist a plant at the slightest hint of it looking dry.
If anything a smaller container would make it harder to overwater as it would dry out quicker than a larger pot.

With full sized plants in larger pots it's more about frequency than quantity. But in solo cups or similar, the medium just seems to hold water once the seedlings get to a certain size and don't dry out easily. I've done it and I've seen others as well. It becomes easier at that stage to be in a larger container.
And while obviously people have done successful whole grows in small containers, it's certainly not easy for someone who's new at it.

As the plant gets larger it'll have more roots and should be drinking more than when smaller. That makes it harder to overwater not easier.

Yet at the same time, this happens a lot.

Just because it happens it doesn't mean it makes it easier to overwater...
People grow 12 inch autoflowers all the time. Doesn't mean they are supposed to be 12 inches.

Ya, and what you got that plant in a drink cup. They don't call them pot plants for nothing. Get a Terra Cotta clay pot and transplant using just a bit of kelp juice to wet and that's it. Give it at least four days before you do anything.
