Lacking anymore than any other park?

Most definitely. There are 13 meetable characters at AK on any given day not including the rare surprise pop ups. In comparison, EPCOT and HS are well into the 20's and Magic Kingdom into the 30's. That's not including any character dining. I'd say that's lacking in comparison.

And that doesn't include the pop-up meets as well?

Nope it doesn't. That is just based off the scheduled daily lineups.

What's the term where several characters make unadvertised stop at once? We caught one in world showcase and there were 6 lined up it was great. We got to see Baloo without the massive wait he was attracting at AK

Based on the location, I'd say it's called "training".
Characterpalooza.
There's no need to be so rude.
Considering that Epcot and DHS don't have 'into the 20s' characters out a day JSchnitz's quote doesn't mean much to me at all.
Epcot: Baymax, Joy, Sadness, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Daisy, Pluto, Donald, Aladdin, Jasmine, Mulan, Belle, Aurora, Snow White, Alice, Mary Poppins, Anna, Elsa (19)
DHS:Mickey, Minnie, Olaf, Pluto, Doc, Sofia, Jake, Goofy, Chip, Dale, Donald, Daisy, Buzz, Woody, Kylo, Chewbacca, Peter Quill (17)
On top of that DAK actually has pop up characters like Ratcliffe, Meeko, the Brers, Dug, Terk etc
I can't believe you made me take out the time to research this but here we are.
Wrong
Thanks for correcting me. Character Palooza is DHS only and made up of the Fantasmic characters.
Pop-ups in other parks are usually training sessions.
Pop ups in Epcot are usually training sessions. Character Palooza is a dirty word. Pop ups anywhere other than Epcot are literally just pop ups.

DHS also BB-8, Baby Groot, Cruz Ramirez, Green Army men, Jawas, and Stormtroopers all appear daily.
EPCOT- I apologize, one off. Now add Chip and Dale, Ariel, Cinderella from character dining plus training you are well into your 20's.
AK pop ups are rare. And the only added character from a dining experience at AK is Daisy. Again in comparison to the other parks, AK's lineup is lacking.
AK pop ups really aren't that rare. Dug is almost daily. Green Army Men aren't always a daily thing, although admittedly they are out most days. Personally I wouldn't count a static car prop or whatever BB-8 is as true character meets and I wouldn't really count dining in the parks total myself but each to their own.
Why is that? All online references to it treat it as a normal name for a 'secret' pop-up.
It's from a website I don't particularly like or agree with.

That term is also used in Paris more than it does for WDW
What? Where have you seen this used in Paris? Palooza isn't even a word in French.
