So, I repeat, for an individual closer to rack up 10 blown saves would be an absolute atrocity of a season.

Yeah, a lot of those blown saves are going to be situations like where a reliever comes in during the 6th inning, (so there's no way in hell they are going to finish the game), and they blow the lead. They get a blown save, even though they were never going to get the save for that game.
You have to look at only closers for an acceptable save conversion rate.
