How were they able to pack so many digital radio stations on FM? Is it because it's higher frequency?

Yes, definitely.

You can think of the trade off roughly as "frequency increases increase bandwidth and decrease penetration/range"

Until you get to x-rays! I've always wondered why this is

If you are looking at xray penetration in the atmosphere, it is very opaque. Almost no xrays get through hence why space telescopes are needed to do xray astronomy.
