I agree with this sentiment. The whole point of Blast only to be referenced is to indicate that there are some aspects of the world that we do not know about and to generate interest. He is meant to be this distant, deific figure. We all have our theories about Blast.

Personally, I see him as kind of like Judge Minty. An elderly Judge who was forced to take the Long Walk into the Cursed Earth after he hesitated when faced with a young perp. Below is a quote from Judge Minty.

"When you get old, you start getting strange notions... like maybe people aren't so bad. Maybe, if we treat them with kindness, the good in them will come out... Guess that's when you know, it's time to quit."

The problem with fan theories is that there is the risk of the reveal not being as satisfying or the writer trolling us like Rian Johnson did with the Last Jedi film and it is important to retain that element of mystery about characters and settings.
