As I understand it it also coincides with the distance to the sun and the fact that the southern hemisphere is mostly water keeps temperatures there more steady.
I was wrong on the first part, in fact the sun is closer un the southern hemisphere’s summer than in the northern, but the difference in distance is minuscule. So the only reason is the water distribution.
In the northern summer earth is further away from the sun, so this neglegible effect is not the reason, but rather is getting overpowered by the effect of water keeping the temperatures more steady over the year than land

And cause 87% of the planets population resides above the equator.
No. This is a global average, not one weighted by population. (Edit for spelling)
