Well, Philadelphia's MSA/CSA covers Southeastern Pennsylvania, all of South Jersey, and 2/3rds of Delaware. So, your logic makes no sense.
Philadelphia's CSA is over 7M, and while this 62-mile radius around Philadelphia bleeds into NYC Metro towns to the north, it's not too much of a stretch to imagine Philadelphia area having a population of 9-10M if NYC was further away or didn't exist.
